Beats Quote by Haile Gebrselassie

![“[London is] one of the best cities in the world. There is just so much culture there and so much history and so much diversity. It's just a perfect place to grow up.

I was kind of a city boy really.” quote by Douglas Booth](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c51/douglas-booth-9139_boys_london-is-one-of-the-best-cities-in-the_2703600.jpg)
