Thursday 10th April 2025 marks a date with significant historical resonance. The release of the first image of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy M87 by scientists from the Event Horizon Telescope project in 2019 represented a watershed moment in astronomy, transforming decades of theoretical work into visible proof of one of the universe's most extreme objects. On this same date in 1944, two Slovak Jewish prisoners, Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler, escaped from Auschwitz and subsequently published a report that became one of the earliest and most detailed accounts of the camp's systematic mass killings. These events, separated by seven decades, exemplify humanity's capacity for both scientific achievement and historical reckoning.

The city served as the epicentre of the British Empire and continues to function as a major financial and cultural centre, housing centuries of architectural heritage alongside modern institutions.
