You Know You're In London When...

Think of every cliche you have ever heard of about London. 

Yeah. That’s it. 

Seriously! London is so famous for its eccentricities that I could not find something different that London wasn’t already famous for. 

You have the famous buildings 

Big Ben

Westminster Abbey

 

Buckingham Palace

 

“London Bridge” aka Tower Bridge

Look at that ignorant smile...

and The Tower of London

Where's the tower???

 And then there are the famous red buses

The famous red telephone booths

The famous afternoon tea and scones

The famous fish and chips

and the famous bobbies and busbies

 There`s also the famous driving on the “wrong side” …

…Which also means walking on the “wrong side”

So here's my short list of things people don't talk about AS MUCH:

1. Ice cream with a flake

"A what?" you ask? A flake. It's a chocolate thing that you find in the UK

2.  Musicals

Traditional and new: everywhere you turn in London, there is some sort of advertisement for some sort of musical.

Cara, I think you need to make a trip to London

3. Pimm's

 

It's a drink called Pimm's. I don't know what's in it...but apparently it's like the ultimate British drink. Aside from beer, that is...

4. Police boxes (if you're a Whovian, well...you already talk about these things)

An original style police box in Trafalgar Square.

This is a police post....it's the right colour...
