It's a beautiful, momentous building but the Tower of London holds a troubling history. A tour through its grounds hold tales of execution, imprisonment and torture.
This is "Jamie Oliver respins Pizza with British Menu toppings" - but it works well; the Red Ox was light on meat though excellent flavour, & it's the first time I've had watercress on a pizza. V good

This 7th-century London landmark has been the venue of choice for bejeweled coronations—and, of course, weddings for the Queen Mum, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Andrew—and now, William and Kate!
...get the time off the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world, which has been telling time since 1859.
Two traffic milestones occurred in this square. In 1868 the world’s first traffic lights were installed here (which later blew up) and in 1926, it became Britain’s first official roundabout.
Henry VIII built a palace here on the site of a leper hospital. Since 1698 it has been the official royal residence in London, which is why foreign ambassadors are still ‘to the Court of St.James’.
While the daily changing of the guards is a tourist magnet, this majestic palace is a London icon and home of the Queen. You know that she is in residence when the flag is flying above the palace!
Originally a deer park for Henry VIII, so he could hunt while staying at Whitehall Palace, the park was laid out in a formal style by Charles II, when Pepys came here to watch ice skating.
TRAVEL FACT: In British culture, the name implies a bussing about with people. Piccadilly Circus is referred to the Times Square of London.

This must-see museum houses over 160,000 portraits of famous Brits (think Mick Jagger, Queen Victoria) dating back to the 16th century. It also is home to a trove of Cecil Beaton images.
A wonderful place for people watching on a sunny day or as a romantic meeting place at dusk, but look out for the pigeons. A visit to the National Gallery is also highly recommended.

Awesome view. 300 steps with a couple of stops on the way up. Definitely Worth checking out
Talk to the staff they are very knowledgeable and have an amazing selection of non-commercialized Scotch... The real unfiltered unchillled uncolored kind.
It's said to be the oldest pub in Edinburgh. Not very fancy nor old-looking, has a traditional menu. Liked the Haggis and the sticky sausages. Good for lunch...
Whisky selection is almost overwhelming, but fear not--patient and knowledgeable bar staff is there you find something you like
TRAVEL TIP: This fortress is a must see - there's a lot to explore and be sure to check out the graffiti on the outside wall, it has a lot of history behind it!
Lovely decor, wonderful service. Superb cuisine. Will definitely recommend the place for cosy and fine dining.
Go here for some hard to find, fancy vegetarian dining, with interesting flavors bases on vegetables, herbs and spices, rather than an overload of mock meats. There should be more of these restaurants
Quintessentially British - this place cannot be beaten when it comes to cream tea & scones. I like the Club Room best. Leia mais.
If you're here at festival time hang around and people watch whilst you drink. Amazing what you can see
Gareth was a friendly host and provided great local recommendations. Convenient bus stops located outside. Bring your hunger as the breakfast portions are huge!
Excellent ales in a friendly atmosphere. Beer selection is constantly changing with 8 hand pumps serving ale in great condition. A real ale lovers oasis!
All food is cooked completely fresh, so it takes a wee while for everything. It's worth the wait though!
This place is awesome. It has bars, a cinema (with popcorn), a pool table, and is entirely underground!
Holyrood is the Royal palace in Edinburgh. It was Mary Queen of Scots home, where she married both Lord Darnley and the Earl of Bothwell. Her secretary, David Riccio, was murdered in her rooms.
Deacon Brodie was the inspiration for Stevenson's Dr. Jerkyll and Mr. Hyde. Enjoy haggis and myths about the dichotomic Scot.
Amazing place to visit! U will see how hard the Queen works, she works everywhere even at sea. Dont forget to have tea and scones at the royal deck tea room.
It's tiny, sweaty and always packed to the rafters; but with the best DJs and some of the best nights in Edinburgh it's no surprise
One of the most stunning and breath-taking views of Stirling and beyond. Proud to be Scottish we are!!!
Excellent Service, 😃Food, Atmosphere Value. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We turned up without a reservation but only had to wait for 5 mins. 👏👏
Make sure you try on the Victorian costume. The corsets, petticoats and bonnets are so much fun.
Exactly the same as it's been for over 20 years and that's no bad thing. Proper student pub with good beer and great atmosphere.
this place is well worth a visit around 3pm, when they do an excellent afternoon tea! be sure to get the scones with clotted cream!
The complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing. The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level.
A two-hour session in the thermal waters of the open-air rooftop pool and indoor Minerva Bath of Thermae Bath Spa (01225 331234; thermaebathspa.com) is very enjoyable.
Been for breakfast twice, great place. Bagel, sausage and bacon buttie were top, full marks breakfast ok but had better. Remember free drink with brekkie
Oldest house in Bath, birthplace of the famous Bath bun. Delicious food, nice service. Have a look to the kitchen museum in the basement!
Great pub in the centre of Bath for a drink and a bit to eat. Popular after work spot with a good selection of Real Ales.
A good way to pass an evening - just the right mix of comedy, magic and sheer bizarre-ness!
Quirky and charming, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their bespoke services include a Reading Spa, where a one-to-one session consultation with a bookseller will suggest lots of reading ideas. Leia mais.
Excellent selection of guest ales - follow @theravenofbath for heads up on whats on tap. Suggest going upstairs if you want to sample their superb pies.
Fantastic free walking tour of Bath, great overview of the history of Bath and taking in the Roman Baths, abbey and more!

'The great stone circle of Avebury in England was used as a dimensional doorway for various star systems, particularly Sirius, the Pleiades, and Arcturus.'

Impressive! You can imagine how grand this was before Henry destroyed it all. Make sure you find King Arthur's grave - original one.
The pork sandwich with the stuffing and apple sauce is the one to try. Very good and the crackling on top is the tops! Also, the roast potatoes are some of the best around.
Pricey thanks to its location next to the Minster, but great food and coffee. Beware "large" coffees: it's a bucket!
A fairly standard Nicholson's pub. Apparently, this one had survived two fires in its lifetime, as explained by a plaque near the entrance to the pub.
This city was a Viking settlement during the 7th C called 'Jorvik'...hence York as we know it today. Interesting and unique museum experience in this part of Europe.
For the best views over York, climb the Minster Tower. Costs a few pounds - and you need to be in shape for the climb - but well worth it.
Very nice in the tudor bar. As with all Nicholsons pubs (mostly found in London but a nice surprise to find many in York) seasonal ales mean there's always something new to try for ale fans.
Simply an excellent Museum and good value. Victorian street and WW1 exhibition complete with trench leave a lasting impression
