King George III bought...
by mooks
King George III bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a comfortable family home close to St James's Palace. Buckingham House became known as the Queen's House, and 14 of George III's 15 children were born there. In 1762 work began on remodelling the house to the King's requirements.
George IV, on his accession in 1820, decided to reconstruct the house. Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to take up residence in July 1837.The present Forecourt of the Palace, where Changing the Guard takes place, was formed in 1911, as part of the Victoria Memorial scheme. The gates and railings were also completed in 1911.

SEE PICCADILLY...
by Michael_D
SEE PICCADILLY CIRCUS...Piccadilly Circus awash in tourists as usual. I always like the dueling adverts..each one fighting for attention. I am American after all and can eat burgers 3x a day and I am also always hungry...so McDonalds usually wins;-)

Tube Etiquette No 2 Offering a Seat
by Cham
It is generally good manners to offer your seat to an pregnant lady, an older person, or someone with a disability on the tube.
However try and ask them before you get up. Under no circumstance should you leave your seat to offer it in someone of need unless they have already agreed to sit... if they don't you could find yourself in the "i'm taking a dump in the woods position" in front of a whole train that will see the colour of the half empty seat glowing like a beacon and by the time you sit down again you'll be on someones lap.
