Born in the 1350s, Richard Whittington was a real historical figure who rose from humble origins to become a wealthy merchant and three-time Lord Mayor of London. However, the tale of his loyal feline companion, Dick Whittington's Cat, blurs the lines between fact and folklore. And I love this story exactly because of that. In a concentrated way, this is the story.

When I visited the Texas Embassy Memorial Plaque in London, I had a plan to visit some places around the city. A Sunday was walking around before I could do the check in on my hotel. The plaque was the first visit since I felt like there 'wouldn't be much to see besides the plaque, and I was right. Even though the location is historical for reasons that 'I'll be talking about later, there is not much to see. Keep that in mind if you want to visit it.
