Did You Know?
The Great London Fire of 1666 started in a bakery on Pudding Lane. Rumor has it, that the owner, Thomas Farynor, oversaw some blaze in the oven.
„The Tube“, London’s subway system, is the world’s oldest, and also one of the largest. In addition, it is also one of the most unreliable means of transports. Frequently, Londoners are faced with closed lines due to construction work.
