Big Ben's bell cracked in 1859, just two months after it started ringing. Rather than replace it, they rotated it a quarter turn and kept going. It's rung with that crack ever since.
Christopher Wren began St Paul's at 37 and finished at 78. He was hauled up in a basket to inspect the dome well into his seventies. His son placed the final stone.
In 1917, Harrods sold a baby elephant to Ronald Reagan's godfather as a Christmas present. They used to have an exotic animal department on the second floor.
The River Fleet still flows beneath the street, emptying into the Thames at Blackfriars. In heavy rain you can hear it rushing through the storm drains. Once London's second river.
The Duke of Wellington lived at No. 1 London — literally the first address in the city. His house at Hyde Park Corner was so close to the arch that his servants used it as a shortcut.
Before the market, Camden was where pianos were made. The Collard & Collard factory here built instruments for Chopin and Liszt. Now it's vintage leather jackets and street food.
221B Baker Street didn't exist when Conan Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes — the street wasn't long enough. When it was extended, the Abbey National building at that address employed a secretary just to answer Holmes's fan mail.
Named after a coaching inn whose sign showed an elephant with a castle on its back — the crest of the Cutlers' Company, who traded in ivory. The elephant was real, the castle was heraldry.
The Cutty Sark was built to be the fastest tea clipper afloat. She once sailed from Sydney to London in 72 days. Now she sits in dry dock at Greenwich — the last of her kind.
