  2. 1. I reckon that by the word "brand" the author means the unity of traditions and history of London that made the city one of the most popular, well-known and unusual cties of the world. It is famous for a 24-hour city nightlife, clubs, restaurants, and internationally known events.
    2. He organised an upgrade of the London transport system and introduced the London congestion charge. I think that means that Livingstone belongs to the GLA.
    3. Apparently the author is fond of London. I suppose the author has already been to London or is looking forward to visiting this marvellous city. More than that the author knows a lot about the city.
