    Info on London

    Historical remains from bygone ages tucked away and overlooked even by London residents. Nice bits of history associated with each item. The window tax became law in 1696 resulting in windows being bricked up to avoid the tax. It was repealed in 1851 and can you believe we have recently had new homes built with bricked up windows as an architectural feature? In fact, this is a very good site to browse, as it is packed with information on London.

    London, not just the usual tourist haunts. Postman's Park; Cloth Fair & More. Enjoy.

    Shows that London is much more than the usual tourist sites. Just get off the tube or bus and walk in any direction and you'll be surprised what you will find. Following the river, canals or your nose from one park to another are great adventures.
