    That's not Westminster Abbey, that's the Houses of Parliament, which is where the Parliament of the UK is housed. Kinda like the Capitol Building which houses the congress in the US.

      Westmister abbey is a church. It's a completely different building. The palace of Westminster and the houses of parliament are different words for the same thing.

    Not surprised you prefer Tower Bridge to London Bridge - the current London Bridge was only built around 1970 - the one before that was sold, dismantled, and ended up in Arizona. The one the nursery rhyme is about was the medieval one which had houses built on it.

    NEVER take the Heathrow Express...it's a rip off...always just take the regular train into London from the exact same station for a fraction of the price. It's hardly any slower and sometimes even quicker. Advice from a Londoner here...just subscribed after finding you through the Endless Adventure!

      Heathrow Express is essentially a private "public" transport system...Heathrow Connect is much cheaper and only takes a little longer....but I guess if you only have 10 hours in a city of over 600 square miles...oh, and the tube is cheaper still, but takes up to an hour!

  • @maxmullen6337
    @maxmullen6337 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish people would understand that “Fish and Chips” is not some sort of example of British high cuisine. It was simply the product of the development of the railways allowing fish to be served fresh anywhere in the country in the days before efficient refrigeration. It was Britain’s first national “fast food”. The McDonalds of the 1800s, intended to be eaten out of a paper bag while walking home, but was cheap and nutritious. That was it.
    And “fish and chips” is not real fish and chips unless eaten with salt and vinegar. Lots of it, especially the “vinegar”. The word vinegar in quotes because traditionally the “vinegar” was a very unrefined version of vinegar.
    If you eat fish and chips without salt and vinegar (lots of vinegar) it’s not proper fish and chips.
