Cotidie with William De Vijlder, chief investment officer Strategy & Partners, BNP Paribas Investment Partners

Has anyone who lives in London ever been to Madame Tussaud’s? Why waxen celebrity simulacra ever got to feature on the top 10 of tourist attractions has always been a mystery to me. The seemingly permanent building project that is Baker Street tube station and the pollution and tat of the Marylebone Road just added to the general bad mood as one tottered along in the freezing cold. But turn on to Marylebone High Street and everything is right with the world. It is one of the joys of our capital city that there are oases like these.
