It was the largest Empire in history. If the Empire’s beating heart was London, then The Strand was one of its major arteries. This mile- long street beside the River Thames was home to some of the Empire’s administrative, legal and commercial functions. The days of Empire are long gone but its legacy remains in the landscape. A walk down this modern London street is a fascinating journey through Britain’s imperial history. This walk was created in 2012 by Mike Jackson and Gary Gray, both Fellows of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). It was originally part of a series that explored how our towns and cities have been shaped for many centuries by some of the 206 participating nations in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

  • London in One Day Itinerary
    Thursday's post for London Love was Part 1 of 2 of 'London in One Day' where I gave you a short list of essentials to make your day out run as smoothly and comfortably as possible, along with information to purchase your Tube and London Eye tickets . Now that we've got all that taken care off we're off on a busy day filled with many of London's best landmarks and attractions. *Please note that all times listed on here are approximate and will be based on things like how fast you walk, possible train delays, or unexpected crowds. I've done my best to estimate these based on my experiences in London to show you as much as possible in one day (albeit a fairly long, but definitely enjoyable, day). (9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.) WESTMINSTER & WHITEHALL ©2014 One Trip at a Time |www.onetripatatime.com| Yep it's an early start but you've got places to go and things to see! You won't be sorry you got up bright and early especially when you exit Westminster Station and look up and there it is... Big Ben ! Unarguably London's best known landmark and where our tour begins. Take some selfies or have your travel companions take your photo with Big Ben and then save them for later when you have free WiFi (at lunch) to post on all your social network sites. Don't worry that lunch is a few hours off because with time zone differences people back home probably aren't awake to see them yet anyway.
