NyLon

NyLon is the concept of New York City and London as twin cities—the financial, commercial and cultural capitals of the Anglo-American world.

[1][failed verification] There is a community of high-earning professionals who commute between these cities on the busy transatlantic air route.

[2] To satisfy the tastes of this common community, businesses such as Time Out and Conran establish branches in both cities.

[4] The dominance of these twin cities was acknowledged by Christine Lagarde who, as French finance minister, wanted Paris to become a similar international financial centre.

[9] Also, both cities host many performing arts, concert, and sports venues, such as The Apollo Theatre, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Barclays Center, Lincoln Center, and BAM in New York and the O2 Arena, Brixton Academy, The National Theatre, the Young Vic, the Old Vic, Shakespeare's Globe, and Barbican Arts Centre in London.

A " telectroscope " was installed in 2008 to visually link London's Tower Bridge with New York's Brooklyn Bridge .
