Our guide Paul Cohen-Portheim offers us his interpretation of life in London through her people, her buildings and her history. Paul Cohen-Portheim (1880-1932), was an Austrian artist and travel writer. He was a proficient linguist and spoke a half a dozen European languages fluently. When World War I broke out, he was painting in Devonshire, and found himself interned for the length of the war. This gave him time to read, observe and meditate, especially on his enforced new home.
