FACT Magazine's Publisher, Edward Smith, explains: "This launch marks an exciting chapter in our ongoing mission to celebrate cities. The GCC and London share a special, strong, and long-standing relationship, and the capital is a popular destination for this market to live, study, work, and visit.
