Explore the Villages of London - A to Z!
For the next two years all eyes will be on London, setting for the Royal Wedding of Prince William
and Kate in 2011, the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2012 and the Olympic Games in July and August of 2012.
The iconic sights of Central London, such as Tower Bridge, the Tower of
London, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace are already amongst the most visited and recognisable in
the world, but many visitors - and Londoners - overlook the wealth of equally fascinating attractions and places of
interest that can be found away from the centre. Over the next couple of years, and in the spirit of I Never Knew That,
I will be compiling an A to Z of the villages of London, uncovering their stories, their monuments and their characters,
under the heading of
I Never Knew That About The Villages of London.
I hope you enjoy the ride!
