One of London’s more unique museums recently opened after a two-year and £22million renovation. One week ago today, the completely re-designed museum opened to the public. If you’re at all interested in the systems that make up London’s public transportation infrastructure (trains/tube, buses, trams, etc.), then it is certainly worth a visit!
Here are […]
Rockefeller Center in New York has a famous Christmas tree, (most likely because of the NBC studios there!) London has a famous Christmas tree of its own every year in Trafalgar Square, one of the best public areas in the city. (Lots of statues, fountains, big lions, and views down to Parliament and […]
The British Airways London Eye is one of the two most eye-catching new additions to the London skyline in the last decade. Originally built as a temporary attraction for the millenium, it has become the most popular tourist attraction in London, visited by 3.5 million people a year. It’s perfectly placed to see […]
St. Paul’s Cathedral is a London absolute MUST-SEE. It’s a landmark in the city, is incredibly beautiful, and is an architectural masterpiece.
There has been some sort of a church on the site since late Roman times. A previous church had been built in the Norman times (circa 1100-1200 AD) and it was one […]
I’ve talked before about two big Christmas Light celebrations in London, on Oxford Street and Marylebone High Street.

One of the best things about living in London is seeing the pageantry around centuries-old traditions. From the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London to the Trooping of the Colour for the Queen, the pomp and circumstance is wonderful to see.
As a little bit of history, the City of London is […]
One of the more scenic and popular markets in London is the Covent Garden Market. This market is in the true heart of tourist London, just a short walk from Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. While you might not find the best deals in the city there, you will most certainly find some […]
I recently posted about the Christmas Lights that will kick off on Oxford Street (Wednesday, 7 November.) Those aren’t the only Christmas lights in London, though!
On Thursday, November 15th, lights will turn on with a celebration on Marylebone High Street. Just a short walk from Oxford Street, Marlebone High Street is a more […]
Each year on November 5th, Guy Fawkes is remembered across the UK. Why? Back in 1605, he led a plot that attempted to blow up Parliament!
The goal of the “Gunpowder Plot” was to destroy Protestant rule in England by killing off the Protestant government and King James I, a Protestant King. Fortunately […]
