Victorian London There are not many opportunities to visit the centre of Our Magnificent
Royal British Empire so take your chance. London is the biggest and the best city in England. London is a great place to visit—-there are many attractions, places to dine and places to stay——read on for our friendly guidance. Inns, Hostels and Taverns As a large centre of commerce and trade, London possesses some of the finest Inns and Hostels, almost fit for royals… If you are looking for a pretty and atmospheric area to start your holiday in the heart of the British Empire, then The Red Lion Tavern is perfect for you. Comfortable living conditions are complimented by good food, hearty ale, friendly wenches and only one Guinea per week! Many reliable sources state it to be a great stay full of character and that they met plenty of endearing persons who stay with them in their hearts even to this day. For comfort and taste, The Victoria Inn is perfect for you, with extremely comfortable accommodation along with some splendid food and friendly staff. It is also very close to the city centre which makes the accessibility issues some other Inns experience obsolete.
Places to visit You must visit the splendid Thames Dock, where amazing ships float by on smokey waters, where our great Queen once visited and said that the flushing metals curled around each other and licked the sour air, as the steamy beasts chugged down the murky canals. Another absolutely smacking jolly place is Madame Tussaud’s, where ghostly fanatics are present with in the milky rubber statues. The fabulous construction of our desired London
Bridge is taking on momentum and we have also just opened the breath-taking Crystal Palace Exhibition where all the dreams you
could find, from all the corners of the world lye on the marble polished tables, O’ tally ho my old chum!!! We also have the incredible Big Ben where the noise is just as absurd as that strange finger of gold that protrudes from the stem and punctures the sky. The tallest building for miles.
For a good cup of tea Wyatt's at the corner of Wellington- Street for an absolutely spiffing afternoon tea and you will not find better at such a reasonable rate.
For a capital dinner, well served with real turtle and cold punch, The Ship and Turtle , in Leadenhall-Street is the place to go to sample the beautiful British cuisine of London for only a measly shilling.
I spoke to Eduardo from Italy who said ‘The English cuisine is a delicacy that everybody should taste in their lifetime. It contains the finest array of everything a man could wish from across the whole world: choose from beef to trotters and I highly recommend London for all who have a splendid palate ’
