(单词翻译)
Every day, several walking tours explore specific slices of London's past. All you have to do is show up at the announced location at the announced time, pay your money to the guide and enjoy two hours of Roman London, Dickens, Shakespeare, Jack1 the Ripper, or whatever is on the guide's menu.
Now I’d like to stop at this point, not so much for the cathedral, but because of this great statue. It is not Queen Victoria, it is Queen Anne. She got Geneva wine completely untaxed. Geneva wine is gin.
If you notice there is a blue plaque2 and it tells you that it is the site of the King's wardrobe, destroyed in the great fire of 1666. A lot of people don't understand that the city of London was forever catching3 fire. It was a wooden city. Streets were always burning down.
St. Bride's is rather famous, Christopher Wren4 originally had a balcony, and all the pews were dark, heavy, black.....
Some history, some trivia. Walking tours add up to some fun.
