Don't believe the lies
If you are coming to London for the first time, for a week perhaps, there’s plenty of different stuff to keep you amused, all easily accessible.
If you come back, you may want to see other places. Here are five, a bit of a train journey away but worth the effort.
We have included some links. You can look up more details of the individual places yourself.
…even though they have not really gone away.
The red post box
No-one sends letters any more?
Well yes, they do of course. You can see old red postboxes, but they are getting fewer.
So many in London are doubles, like the one above. You can tell the age from the front. This one says EIIR for Queen Elizabeth the second, so, since the mid-1950s.
Modern ones have no character, but there are some very old ones about. We remember Hampstead and Windsor.
