Hidden rivers

Several streets in London are named after the rivers that into the River Thames. Wharfs were built along many of these rivers, and slowly became more and more built up to the point that many decreased significantly in size. These rivers were (and still are) used for sewage and were built overtop of to create more room within the cities.

Tyburn
Fleet
Westbourne
Walbrook
Stamford Brook
Parr’s Ditch
Counter’s Creek
Black Ditch
Falcon
Effra
Neckinger
Peck
Ravensbourne

I want to stand overtop of as many of the hidden rivers as possible.

Bapipes

I’d like to know if playing the bagpipes is a legitimate street act in Scotland.
Better yet, I’d like to try it out for myself.

Big Ben

I was going to say that I like putting names to faces, but Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, not the clock.

Killarney National Park

The Killarney National Park is the one of the few places in the world to see the Killarney Whitebeam (Sorbus anglica), Bryophytes (mosses and Liverworts), Saint Patrick’s cabbage (Saxifraga spathularis), and strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo). Not to mention, some of the areas of the Killarney Oakwoods are threatened by a common Rhododendron, which covers other plants in shade resulting in their inability to regenerate, including oak seedlings.

Tea and crumpets


The word “crumpet” is also a slang term used to refer to an intelligent, attractive woman (especially if she is in broadcast media).  The term was first coined by Frank Muir when he referred to Joan Bakewell of BBC2 television as the “thinking man’s crumpet”.

The Armadillo

The architect’s inspiration for the design of the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow was a series of interlocking ship hulls as a way of paying homage to the shipbuilding heritage of the city.
