Flights to London – Bet you didn’t know that!
What can we say about London? We dislike stating the obvious so we’re going in search of weird and wonderful facts about the UK’s capital. Flights to London land you in the home of the famous Battersea Dogs’ Home, which cares for 15,000 stray doggies every year.
Alexandra Palace was the venue of the great 1851 Exhibition, one of the biggest show-off fests known to man and a showcase for the skills, ingenuity and intelligence of the entire British Empire. A million square metres of glass visited by six million keen Victorians. The UK’s first ever supermarket flung open it’s doors in Earls Court back in 1951. And Thomas Arne composed the song Rule Britannia while drunk (we imagine) in a riverside pub in Hammersmith. Bet you didn’t now that. Find out more… book yourself flights to London and explore the ‘big smelly’.
London Flights – Harrods don’t sell coke any more…
We’re on a roll now. Buy yourself a brace of flights to London and gaze into the windows of Harrods, one of the world’s most famous department stores. You’d never guess that they used to sell pure cocaine there until it was made illegal in 1902. How times have changed. You can’t even smoke a fag in public these days for fear of being arrested and hanged.
Have a poke around Soho if you fancy seeing what London’s seedy side is all about. Soho used to be very different, part of Henry 8th’s prestigious hunting grounds. Like trees? Alexander Pope planted the country’s first ever willow tree at home in Twickenham, and every willow in the UK is related to it.
Flights to London – Eccentricity, madness and art
How can anyone resist visiting a city this full of madness, eccentricity and variety? Take flights to London where 1960s politicians probably still wander, lost, around Parliament’s two miles of corridors muttering to themselves. The city where Jack the Ripper, left handed maniac and killer, takes his place alongside Sherlock Holmes and King George VI, the only Royal to compete at Wimbledon. How to get there? Book flights to London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Luton or London Stansted airports, depending on where in the city you want to stay.
