A recent study from PureGym has found that London has the highest number of gym-goers in the UK. One in five London residents has a gym membership, the majority of which visit the gym at least twice a week or more.

Perhaps the most famous declaration about our nation’s capital is ‘When a man is tired of London he is tired of life’. The speaker was 18th Century man of letters Samuel Johnson, sole author of one of the most influential early dictionaries of English. Johnson’s quote lingers on in the popular imagination because it captures the seemingly inexhaustible variety of this huge and beguiling metropolis.
