London ist ein magischer Ort

When you’re in the mood to take a vacation, make sure to keep London on your mind; you may just find it a fascinating place to be. There are so many interesting facts about this lovely city that will enlighten your mind. Jimi Hendrix lived at 23 Brook Street, which has been used as offices, but is now being converted into a museum. Two doors down at 25 Brook Street is where the composer Handel lived from 1723 until his death in 1759, and that apartment has already been turned into a museum. The Beetles played their last gig on the roof of Apple Corps at 3 Saville Row. Now it is an Abercrombie & Fitch store. The reading room at the British Museum is where Karl Marx wrote Das Kapital in between bouts of getting very drunk and asking Friedrich Engels to lend him more money.

Unter der Aldgate-Station, in einer 1665 erbauten Pestgrube, sind buchstäblich über 1.000 Leichen begraben. Nur zwei U-Bahn-Stationen haben alle fünf Vokale im Namen: Mansion House und South Ealing. Wenn Sie jemals jemanden auf einem Roller mit einer fluoreszierenden Jacke und einer großen Karte sehen, könnte es sich um einen angehenden Taxifahrer handeln, der für die Wissensprüfung lernt, die normalerweise zwei bis vier Jahre dauert, um vollständig zu lernen. Um den Wissenstest zu bestehen, den wahnsinnig schwierigen Londoner Geographietest, der von einem Taxifahrer in der Stadt verlangt wird, müssen Sie 320 Grundrouten, alle 25.000 Straßen, die auf diesen Routen verstreut sind, und etwa 20.000 Sehenswürdigkeiten und Sehenswürdigkeiten innerhalb einer 6-Minuten-Strecke beherrschen -Meilen-Radius von Charing Cross. Ich hoffe natürlich, dass Ihr Gedächtnis dafür gut ist.

If you have ever cherished a pet in your lifetime, you’ll appreciate the love these Londoners show for their pets; there is an entire pet cemetery in Hyde Park. In reference to animals, Dog and Duck is a popular British pub name thanks to a game in which dogs would chase a duck whose wings had been clipped so it could only escape by diving into a pond. This was played at Balls Pond Road, near Islington, among other places across the city. London is known for its bright red buses, but these vehicles were not always red. Before 1907, different routes had different colored buses. If you’re into visiting churches, be sure to check out the oldest church in the city. It’s called “All Hallows by the Tower.” It’s near Tower Hill, and was founded in 675. The undercroft had Roman pavement dating from the 2^nd Jahrhundert n. Chr

In America, we generally call the pavement we drive our calls on “roads,” but until 1994, there were no “Roads” in the city of London, and now there’s only one, Goswell Road, which became part of the Square Mile in 1994 after boundary changes. There are plenty of Lanes, Streets, and Ways, but public paths weren’t generally referred to as roads until the 16^th century. If you’ve ever been a fan of poetry, then you’ll be fascinated to learn that many playwrights and poets are buried at Westminster Abbey. The tomb of Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser is there and, according to historian Edward Camden, contains unpublished works by his admirers (possibly including Shakespeare) who threw poems into his grave as a tribute. Now that would be a site to see. You can only imagine how cool it would be to see the famous tributes that lie beneath with this beautiful poet. There are endless amounts of beauty and knowledge you can gain from visiting this magical place. Plan your trip today.
