👀The London Doozy - London's Best Events This Week

Hello Londoners, it might be the end of the spring sun, but who cares? There are some great events this week, from St. Patrick’s Day at Trafalgar to an affordable Art Fair at Battersea. Let's dive in!

London Shower Thoughts

As London's new £2 billion 'super station' aims to serve 250,000 passengers daily, will the phrase 'packed like sardines' be upgraded to 'packed like commuters in Old Oak Common'?

What's Interesting?

The Great Fire’s Survivor – Despite the Great Fire of London (1666) wiping out most of the city, one pub, The George Inn, survived.

You can still grab a pint there today—over 350 years later!

You may have even passed it on your commute… It’s a stone's throw away from London Bridge. London has so much history we don’t even know about.

A Moment In Time

At the height of its fame, Carnaby Street was pedestrianized (a rare move at the time) to make space for the flood of shoppers and musicians.

The street became so popular that even policemen patrolling the area had to be fashionably dressed!
