Plenty of entertainment and amusements in London

Named after a leper hospital dedicated to the St James the Less that was disbanded in 1532, the property a marshland called Eton College was commissioned by Henry VIII and converted to St James Park and Palace. After the English Commonwealth period and after Charles I spent his last sleepless night in St James Palace before his execution to which later his son Charles I refurbished the palace along with its park. St James Park is 23 hectares (57 acres) and one of the oldest Royal parks in London. To the west of the palace is the Buckingham Palace, St James Palace and The Mall at the north, Birdcage Walk to the east and Horse Guards to the east.

London is adorned with many parks for strolls, entertainment and amusement. Amongst other parks in the same vicinity,Apartments West London recommends some other parks that can give you similar delightful experience are Hyde Park, Battersea Park an ancient duelling park now famous for its crops and Holland Park. London is packed with interesting historical marks and stories, hence whilst browsing through our five star self-catering accommodation.

There is quite a lot of breath taking views to take in at St James Park. The park has a small lake called St James Park Lake that has two islands namely, West Island and Duck Island. Duck Island receives it names for the large collection of waterfowls. The first gift of birds to the St James Park was a colony of pelicans by the Russian Ambassador in 1664 – the famous colony still exists. St James Park Lake has a Blue Bridge that showcases a spectacular west view of the Buckingham Palace framed by trees. The east view from the Blue Bridge looks upon the Swire fountain north of Duck Island, past the lake and upon the grounds known as Horse Guards Parade along with the Horse Guards Building and the Old War Office whilst the Whitehall Court is at the back.  The south of the Duck Island is the Tiffany fountain situated on top of the Pelican Rock and when past the lake is the famous London Eye and The Shard. Apartments near Westfield London suggests visiting the London Eye to experience spectacular views of London at great heights.  St James Park is close to a chain of parks; Green Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

Henry VIII bought the land initially Eton College for Cardinal Wolsey with intentions to turn Whitehall then called as York Palace into dwelling of extravagance for the king. On the accession of James I to the throne the park was ordered to be drained and filled with exotic animals including camels, elephants and crocodiles. The park was opened to the public when Prince Charles II returned from France after his exile. The park had a formal and French allure as he was taken up by the extensive French gardens during his exile in France, it was speculated that the park was designed by Andre Mollet. Charles II added a feature by adding extra 38 meters to entertain guests and mistresses, this brought about a lot of mischief to the park as the poet, John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester wrote in his poem, A Ramble in St James Park. Just as many London’s famous tourist attractions find its way into movies, books and poems, St James Park played its part.

Une vieille plaisanterie va comme suit :

Un homme arrête un autre de la rue, et lui demande: « Salut , pouvez -vous me dire comment se rendre à Royal Albert Hall s'il vous plaît? " L'homme le regarde de haut en bas et répond " pratique , compagnon, pratique " !

En moyenne, la capacité de la salle peut compter jusqu'à plus de 5200 places, en fonction de l'événement. Chaque année , il accueille plus de 350 événements , un certain nombre d'autant plus étonnant par la variété diverse - allant de concerts de musique classique , le rock et la pop , le ballet et l'opéra , le sport, remises de prix , etc.

Comme l'histoire se passe , le premier concert à effectuer au Hall était la cantate de Arthur Sullivan, à terre et mer . D'autres performances notables incluent le 25e anniversaire de Andrew Lloyd Webber Le Fantôme de l'Opéra en 2011, la première royale du film de James Bond 24 , Skyfall en 2012, et en Novembre 2012 , la performance du 100e anniversaire de la Royal Performance des variétés qui a été suivie par la reine et le prince Philip .

Have fun in the countryside this autumn

We decided to escape to the countryside for the mid-term break, away from our busy lives in the city, away from the rush and pressure of life. We loaded up the bikes and the kids packed their favourite toys and off we headed. We weren’t sure where we were going to end up all we knew is that we needed a homely place that served meals, safe, comfortable and affordable.

We also didn't want to have to travel too far from home so we headed for Sussex. As we were winding through the country lanes we decided to look on the internet for places to stay and came acrossan amazing bed and breakfast Surrey. It looked like the perfect place to stay so we called up and the hosts had a room available which we booked.

It was fantastic; we had the most amazing break, beautiful walks and cycle tracks at Bed and Breakfast West Sussex. The food was scrumptious and we have decided that this will definitely be our new secret getaway.

ROYAL ALBERT HALL – THE FINEST TALENT

An old joke goes as follows:

A man stops another of the street, and asks him “Hi, can you tell me how to get to Royal Albert Hall please?” The man looks him up and down and replies “practice, mate, practice”!

The Hall, as it is popularly known, was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s consort) and opened by Her Majesty in 1871. With the bold intention of being a central hall used to promote understanding and appreciation of Arts and Sciences, the Hall has been in continuous use since its opening.

Located on the southern edge of South Kensington in the City of Westminister, London, the Hall is particularly famous for holding the annual summer Proms concerts since 1941. On average, the capacity of the Hall can number up to over 5,200 seats, depending on the event. Each year, it hosts more than 350 events; a number made more astounding by the diverse variety – ranging from classical concerts, rock and pop, ballet and opera, sports, awards ceremonies, etc.

As history goes, the first concert to be performed at the Hall was Arthur Sullivan’s cantata, On Shore and Sea. Other notable performances include the 25th anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera in 2011, the royal premiere of the 24th Bond film, Skyfall in 2012, and in November 2012, the 100th anniversary performance of the Royal Variety performance which was attended by the Queen and Prince Philip. The Hall is also home to regular performers, such as Eric Clapton – playing host to his concerts almost annually for 20 years; Shirley Bassey, who sang happy birthday for the Duke of Edinburgh’s 80th birthday concert in 2001, returning many more times until 2011, when she sang Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

If you are in the area, and need flats for rent in London, look no further for London Holiday Studios. The Talgarth Road Flat is located in West Kensington, London and is only 10-20 minutes from the Hall. Featuring all the facilities you need for a day of culture and appreciation, the Studio features a modern fitted kitchen that ensures the best self catering accommodation London, en suite shower, central heating, TV, CD and DVD player along with unlimited WiFi, and enough room for 2-5 people.
