London: More Than Just Red Phone Booths & Royals

This page is about my explorations of London, a city that’s always buzzing with energy and surprises. I’ve wandered off the beaten path to uncover some hidden gems you might not find in your typical guidebook.

Think London is just Buckingham Palace and Big Ben? Think again! We’ll encounter quirky sights like a traffic light tree and a graffiti tunnel. We’ll even delve into the fascinating story of Richard Whittington, a real-life figure who became Lord Mayor – and yes, he had a cat!

I’ll also share glimpses of everyday London life, from peaceful moments in Regent’s Park to the bustling atmosphere of Piccadilly Circus. You’ll discover charming neighborhoods, unique street art, and unexpected historical tidbits.

Join me as I share my adventures in London. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or just dreaming of visiting, you will discover something new about this stunning city.

I was in the city for a week, but I knew that I wouldn’t have much free time so I decided to use in a way that would fit my tastes in the best way possible. That is why I ended up looking for the smallest police station in Great Britain and the First Public Drinking Fountain in the World. I visited both on the same Sunday, and you can read more about it now.

If you have been to this square, there is a great chance that you already have seen this but… Since you didn’t know what were you looking, you just ignored it like everybody that went by while I was taking pictures of it on a cold February night earlier this year.
