  Millions of visitors are drawn to London for its fascinating history, but traditional images of Beefeaters at the Tower and the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace are increasingly being joined by the likes of Bangla festivals in Brick Lane and Chinese New Year celebrations on Trafalgar Square. Indeed, the city is constantly moving forward by inventively reinterpreting its past. Summer 2006 saw the Pet Shop Boys performing in the grounds where queens lost their heads, while Somerset House continues to alternate between hosting trance concerts and ice skating, depending on the season. And one of the city's most-visited museums, Tate Modern, undergoes a complete transformation, as its permanent collection is rehung to focus on key artworks. As publisher of the capital's definitive cultural listings magazine, Time Out is uniquely positioned to monitor its changes.
