  • Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • London Hosts the 2012 Summer Olympic Games

    London Hosts the 2012 Summer Olympic Games

    World Events/2012 Olympic Games London Hosts the 2012 Summer Olympic Games London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, is the Host City for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. The Games will be held from July 27 – August 12, 2012. In addition the 2012 Summer Paralympics, games for athletes with physical challenges, will also be hosted by London from August 29 – September 9 2012. In July of 2005, London learned that it had won the right to host the 2012 Summer Games, beating out the other finalists Madrid, Moscow, New York City, and Paris. It is the third time for London to host the games, after 1908 and 1948. A lot of hard work has gone on in London to prepare for this event. It takes years of planning to produce the Olympic Games by city officials, Olympic committee members, sports planners, architects, water managers, environmental experts, landscape architects, transportation managers, housing designers, financial managers, health and safety experts, information specialists and more. Thousands of details must be considered to provide for the approximately 10,500 athletes from about 205 countries, as well as over 5,000 team officials, thousands of media representatives and millions of fans who will travel to London or watch the games from home. The Olympic and Paralympic Game are the biggest peacetime event in the world. Some of the events for the 2012 Games will be held at locations outside of the city of London, because many Olympic sports require their own large and specially designed venue or facility. It is necessary for host cities of Olympic Games to find areas of land spacious enough for these special facilities.
