Private adviser in London, United Kingdom

London rewards patience. The right name is found quickly; the right moment is not.

London holds the densest concentration of useful people in Europe, and the strongest resistance to being approached badly. An introduction made too early is an introduction spent.

The house waits, prepares the ground, and presents a matter only when it can be received on its own terms.

Legal, cultural and private circles are approached separately, never with the same letter.
