že mayster-toun hit evermore has bene... If one is tired of London, one is tired of...well you can fill your own gaps in here...
In fact, you could say I did tire of London, because in 2005 I finally left and moved five thousand miles away to the culture shock known as Davis, California. But London is still my home, my first love, my favourite city. I studied an MA in English, focusing on Medieval London. And like most other Londoners, I was really proud of the way my city dealt with the bomb attacks of July 2005, and refused to give in to fear. this is a great city that has been through a lot in its epic history, and will not cower to cowards. |

Already I have a lot of tips for the tourist, as a former tour guide should, but sadly not quite as many photos as I should. However as soon as I can, the pics will come. Slowly. Most of the stories are in the General Tips section. CHECK IT OUT!

| | found myself in a strange town This is the shield of the City of London. You may not know that there are two cities in Greater London - London ('the City') and Westminster. Effectively, what we call London is in truth a twin city, with lots of small towns and villages conjoined in one large urban sprawl, to make the largest city in Europe. The City shield is interesting as it comprises the cross of St.George and a small red dagger, believed to symbolise the knife used by Mayor William Walworth to kill Wat Tyler, leader of the Peasant's Revolt, in 1381. For more info on London's history, please read my travelogue "From Lud to Livingstone" . |
