🐾 
The London Underground or 'tube' opened 159 years ago on 10 January 1863. It is the world's first underground passenger railway and serves over 1.8 million people every day
🐾 
The nickname Tube comes from the almost circular tube-like tunnels through which the small trains travel
🐾 
The deepest station is Hampstead on the Northern line, which runs down to 58.5 metres
🐾 
The newest line is called the 'Elizabeth Line'. This week Her Majesty The Queen made a surprise visit to Paddington Station to see the completed line which opens on May 24th
🐾 
After spending over a week here I can't deny it's an incredibly easy and efficient way to get around London

If you seek a monument, look about you 🐾 Saint If you seek a monument, look about you
🐾 
Saint Paul’s Cathedral is on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London 🇬🇧
🐾 
A Roman temple to Diana may once have stood on this site, but the first Christian cathedral there was dedicated to St. Paul in AD 604, during the rule of King Aethelberht I. (did any of you watch the series Vikings?) That cathedral burned down, and its replacement was destroyed by Viking raiders in 962. In 1087 a third cathedral erected on the site also burned down. The fourth cathedral, now known as Old St. Paul’s was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666
🐾 
The current building was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710 and is one of the most famous and recognizable sights of London and has dominated the skyline for over 300 years
🐾 
Many notable soldiers, artists, and intellectuals have been buried in the crypt, including Lord Nelson, the duke of Wellington, and Wren himself. Above his resting place is the epitaph 'Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice' which may be translated as 'Reader, if you seek a monument, look about you'

There are few hours in life more agreeable than th There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as Afternoon Tea
🐾 
Afternoon tea, that most quintessential of English customs is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. Whilst the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid 19th century that the concept of ‘afternoon tea’ first appeared
🐾 
Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, introduced afternoon tea to England in 1840. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Duchess would get hungry. Her family's evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, creating a significant gap between lunch and dinner. The Duchess requested that a tray of tea, bread and butter (the Earl of Sandwich had conceived the notion of putting a filling between two slices of bread some time before) and cake be delivered to her room in the late afternoon. This became her habit, and she began inviting her friends to join her
🐾 
Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches, Cakes and pastries and of course scones served with clotted cream and jam. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured into delicate bone china cups. It's quite the most delicious occasion! 
🐾 
Thank you @royallancasterlondon for inviting me to afternoon tea I enjoyed every moment! 🐻💙❤️🍵🥪🍰

Hmmm no answer, maybe she's at Balmoral Castle again
🐾 
Buckingham Palace is one of the most well-known buildings worldwide. Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703
🐾 
Today preparations are being made for the Queens Platinum Jubilee, she is the first monarch to celebrate 70 years of service and I hear it's going to be a jolly big party 🎉

Got the time on you guv? 🐾 London boasts prob Got the time on you guv? 
🐾 
London boasts probably the  most famous clock in the world, Big Ben
🐾 
Since its completion in 1859 Six monarchs and 41 prime ministers have come and gone since the bells first struck
🐾 
In fact the name Big Ben  refers to the bell, not the tower, which still has a crack and a hole in it after it's installation 
🐾 
The tower was designed by the English architect Augustus Pugin and upon its completion, the clock was known around the world as both the largest and most accurate four-faced chiming clock on the planet
🐾 
Today the clock accurately broadcasts the time to local on-lookers, correct to within a single second

Have you ever found a hidden treasure? 🐾 The Have you ever found a hidden treasure? 
🐾 
The Hill Garden and Pergola is a Georgian arbour and terrace in the Hill Garden with great views across Hampstead Heath
🐾 
Undeniably one of London’s hidden treasures. It's a raised walkway, overgrown with vines and exotic flowers set amidst some wonderfully dramatic gardens
🐾 
The sense of faded grandeur is everywhere, and even with the recent restorations it hasn’t lost this unique character
🐾 
It's a beautiful place to wander and is probably the most interesting part of Hampstead Heath to visit. Honestly, if you haven’t been to the Hill Garden and Pergola before you should. It's absolutely worth the trip
🐾 
Have a great weekend friends! Which is your favorite pic?

The first resident of this skyscraper was a fox!
🐾 
The Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 standing at 95 stories and 310m (over 1000ft). Designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano it offers a 360° panorama for 40 miles in every direction
🐾 
The building is designed to maintain its stability under very windy conditions and can sway up to 400 millimeters (16 in) even though its exterior is covered by 11,000 glass panels! 
🐾 
During construction a fox was found on the 72nd floor, he is believed to have survived on food left by the construction workers. The fox was nicknamed Romeo by staff 🐻💙❤️🇬🇧🦊

Did you know Tower Bridge is not London Bridge?
🐾 
Tower Bridge in London 🇬🇧 might be the city's most famous bridge thanks to its Neo-Gothic architecture and lifting central sections. When it opened in 1894, it was the most sophisticated bascule bridge in the world. It was designed by architect Sir Horace Jones and civil engineer Sir John Wolfe Barry, 
🐾 
It is sometimes confused with the old London Bridge, about half a mile upstream. A popular urban legend says that in 1968, Robert P. McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge that was later shipped to Lake Havasu City in Arizona, believed that he was in fact buying Tower Bridge
🐾 
But Tower Bridge is not just a pretty face, it's used by over 40,000 people (and a few bears) every day to cross the Thames River

Another train station, another adventure 🐾 So i Another train station, another adventure
🐾
So it's almost time to leave this big city, I've really enjoyed New York this time around, it's been a pleasure to visit during the spring with so much of the city in bloom. People don't rush around as much and all the parks have people sitting on the grass and enjoying the fine weather
🐾
I really must explore more of this fabulous country, but for now it's time to get to the airport and onwards to my next destination. Any ideas where I'll be going next?
🐾
Happy Monday friends!
Which is your favorite picture 1, 2, 3 or 4?
