Description

London is a vast, stunning city, impossible to fully explore in a single stroll. However, I invite you to discover its key royal landmarks in the Westminster and St. James's districts. Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square are essential sights for every visitor. And I will share numerous amusing anecdotes about British monarchs. Are you aware of the romantic tradition that the Merry King Charles II introduced from France? Or the hobby that could lure Queen Elizabeth II away from even a G7 summit? Do you know which king barred his own queen from attending his coronation? But London's history isn't solely about royal intrigue. Did you know that pirate ships once sailed the Thames? Can you guess why the first police arrest in London was unsuccessful? Do you know the origin of the word 'guys' and how a conspirator ended up on the list of great Britons? I'm confident you'll find my practical advice helpful as well. Why is a black cab preferable to an Uber, and where can you spot a vintage double-decker bus? What should you sample from English cuisine, and how should you drink tea to avoid being labelled a barbarian? Along the way, you can snap a photo with a red telephone box.
