🌴 WHO REMEMBERS THIS LONDON PALM TREE?

For years, thousands of Londoners passed this rather magnificent palm tree.

But it hasn’t always lived here.

It once stood in a very prominent position on London’s roads.

Do you remember it? And can you tell me exactly where it used to stand?

No cheating with Google! 😄

This magnificent gateway once stood beside the River Thames. Today, it’s stranded in a London garden.

The gateway hasn’t moved. So what happened to the river?

WOULD YOU DRIVE ONE? 🚗

Forget your modern electric car. These beauties were on Pall Mall today, preparing for tomorrow’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.

Brass headlights, wooden wheels and engines that look like a plumber’s worst nightmare.

Some of these cars are more than 125 years old.

And tomorrow, their owners will attempt the journey to Brighton.

Eight pictures. Eight glimpses of motoring history.

Which one would you take for a spin?

I think this is a Benz Victoria outside the Golden Lion, but am happy to be corrected?

Tomorrow it’s heading for Brighton in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Today, a pub stop. Sensible route planning. 🍺

Have you ever looked closely at the Guards Memorial beside St James's Park?
The five bronze figures represent the five Foot Guards regiments, and each was modelled on a real soldier.
But one apparently became impatient with the sculptor and walked away, leaving another Guardsman to provide his legs.
There's also a simple way to identify the different regiments. Count the buttons on their tunics.
Another piece of London history hiding in plain sight.

Something wicked is brewing beneath the streets of London. 🐸🎃

A witch and a rather worried-looking frog. Just another night in Leake Street Tunnel.

Which character steals the show?

Pull up at Hyde Park Corner and look at Wellington Arch. Most people see a big monument. For decades, police officers worked behind it. The station closed in 1959, and English Heritage calls it Britain's smallest permanently staffed police station.
The Trafalgar Square lamp story has been told in every cab for years, and I've told it myself. The arch has the better claim.
Which London story did you believe for years before someone set you straight?
