Built in the 15th century The Ancient House as it has now been dubbed, could possibly be one of the oldest houses in London. Over the years the building was left to deteriorate and was once used as a bicycle shop. Fortunately the house was successfully restored in 1934 and then again in 2001.

London taxis must have a turning circle not greater than 8.535 m (28 ft). One reason for this is the configuration of the famed Savoy Hotel: the hotel entrance's small roundabout meant that vehicles needed the small turning circle to navigate it. #taxi #londonhistory

Want to experience what it was like to be a prisoner in medieval London? 😱 The Clink Prison Museum lets you do just that! Try on prison clothes, feel the weight of shackles, and even experience the sensation of being locked in a dark, cold cell. #History #London #Museum #londonwalkingtours

London has over 170 museums, including quirky ones like the Fan Museum in Greenwich, which is dedicated entirely to hand fans, and the Museum of Brands, which explores the history of packaging and advertising. It’s a paradise for curious minds!

This is the statue inside London Cannon Street station. It's of The Plumber's Apprentice. It was erected to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers receiving its Royal Charter from King James I in 1611.

Big Ben is one of Londons most iconic landmarks. But it's not actually called Big Ben. The actual name for this beautiful architectural wonder is the Elizabeth Tower. It's actually the Great Bell inside the tower that has the nickname Big Ben.

The Elizabeth Line (Lizzy line) is truly remarkable and has sped up travel across London ten fold. 11 minutes from Paddington to Liverpool Street, platform to platform. Nice work.

From 1200s, the Tower of London housed a royal menagerie of exotic animals including lions an elephant and a polar bear. This predates modern zoos. When the menagerie closed in 1835, many animals relocated to Regent's Park, forming the basis for today's London Zoo.
