There's a bit in 'Absolute Beginners'
by Colin McInnes (which is great, by the way), where the narrator, a teenage mod in the fifties, takes a taxi ride along the Embankment: "And as I gazed out on the water like a mouth, a bed, a sister, I thought how, my God, I love this city, horrible though it may be, and never ever want to leave it, come what it may send me."
I think a lot of people feel like that
