26 Most London Things That Have Ever Happened
"You sound like you're from London!"
Famous for its red buses, red post boxes and red telephone kiosks (seriously, what's with all the red?), London is arguably the most amazing city in the world (it might also be the most expensive city - aye? Aye?). Factor in some of the most iconic landmarks this side of Tower Bridge (but not the Millennium Dome), an underground system that residents love to praise and bad mouth in equal measure, and a population of human beings who are legitimately content not to talk to strangers at any point, ever, and you're really looking at a place that is so unlike any other. Londoners are famous, of course, for strolling through the streets at the crack of dawn, singing songs like "Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner" or "Chim Chim Cher-ee," complete with cockney accent. Or, at least, that's what they should be famous for (what gives, London?). To celebrate this beautiful, historical, bewildering, hilarious and frankly terrifying city in all its glory, then, join us as we take a candid look at 26 of the Most London Things That Have Ever Happened. You know, things like... oh, Ian McKellen helping the Queen into the back of a black cab whilst they both sip a pint and talk about EastEnders (all right - we made that up... can you imagine?).
