LONDON



Hello everybody!
In this article I want to tell you briefly something about London and what you can visit so keep on reading. 



POPULATION, EDUCATION, SPORT
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

London has nearly 9 million inhabitants of which 20 000 are Czechs and Slovaks. It proves that London is multinational city. 
London is home to many universities and high schools (click for a list). Museum and scientific research institutions as well.  Imperial College London and University College London are in the top 10 best universities in the world.
The most popular sport in London is football and the city has several of England's leading clubs. London is the first city in which the Olympic Games took place 3 times!


LONDON TRANSPORT
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Supposedly, London has the best public transportation system in the world! Means of transport can be used by wheelchair users too - and that's just perfect.
The London Underground is the oldest in the world. It has been working since 1863. The first day of working was transported 40 000 people. Nowadays can be transported more than 2 600 000 people per day! 
You all know the London buses, right? The red ones. The Double deckers. Bus service transport weekly over 6 million people. If you are a tourist and you don't want to miss any interesting sight, you can take a tourist bus (Original London Sightseeing Tour or Big Bus Tour). You can get on any time on marked bus stops. The ticket costs about 25£ and is valid for 24 hours.


When you're in London you probably shouldn't miss museums, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Coca Cola London Eye etc. But I understand that everybody are not interested in history, architecture or you have seen it all already. So, just for you, I have prepared tips for some other interesting tourist attractions which are suitable also for children!



THE VIEW FROM THE SHARD
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

‘You’ll be walking on air amongst the clouds, but if they spoil your view, you can return for free’



The View from The Shard is the premium visitor attraction at the top of Western Europe's tallest building, and London's newest landmark, The Shard. At a height of up to 244m, The View from The Shard offers spectacular views over London, enabling visitors to see as far as 40 miles away. Twice as high as any other vantage point in the city, it is the only place where visitors can see the entire city at once. Want more? Experience The View from The Shard twice with their new Day & Night Experience program. See the views by day and return in the evening to see London at night. 

I genuinely recommend to see their WEBSITE, where you can find some interesting facts!!

*only for those who are not afraid of heights



MADAME TUSSAUDS 
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Millions and millions of people have flocked through the doors of Madame Tussauds since they first opened over 200 years ago and it remains just as popular as it ever was. Walk down the red carpet with Johnny Depp, before exploring sports zone alongside Usain Bolt and David Beckham. Enjoy an audience with Her Majesty The Queen and Will and Kate before being on stage with music icons including Miley Cyrus. Then, learn about sculptors work and watch behind-the-scenes.

2 “AUSSIE” FASHION BRANDS

Obrázek
Hello everybody! It’s been a while since my last post. How are you in a new year? Do you have some resolutions? If so,  don’t stop, keep on track! What did you do? I was just doing my routines, yoga, procrastinating, dreaming. You know, regular person here 🙋🏻‍♀️. Anyway, in today’s post you can find two fashion brands which are based in Australia. We all know Australia as a country with extraordinary nature. It sounds to me like such a cliché so I decided to write about something more unusual (at least I hope it is a bit unusual). You might know that in the Czech Republic’s textile industry is Australia well-known for quality sheep wool. Now to the brands ↓ ZIMMERMANN ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let's start with my favorite.

Obrázek
Hello everybody!  Today I am bringing you news about an English speaking country. I was scrolling down the news on the BBC website and I couldn't find anything what would interest me and also be interesting and easy to read for you. Suddenly it hit me in my eyes - a 'robin egg blue' picture of a cafe. Then I noticed the title(!) which says something about Breakfast at Tiffany's and I knew immediately it must be the perfect choice. By the way, if you don’t know I'm all about the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's and Audrey Hepburn too. Now, let me tell you more.  ATTENTION! Luxury jewelry store Tiffany's & Co opened a cafe! The cafe is called the Blue Box Café , probably because you can really feel like you are inside their traditional blue box. It is a dream come true for the film lovers, don't you think? It is a part of a renovation of their Manhattan store. Yes, it is the same store which is seen in the movie. Specifically in the most po...

VICTORIA BECKHAM

Obrázek
Hello everyone! Here I am with my second post. Today we are going to focus on a British famous personality. As you probably noticed from the title - it's about Victoria Beckham. Singer, dancer, fashion designer and what's more strong, ambitious, confident and very inspiring woman. I must admit that writing about personalities is hard for me. I guess it is because I can't say any personal experience. So I am going to tell you some facts about her life and for those who are into fashion or Victoria herself I put links to videos down below. "I want to make a woman feel like the best version of herself" Spice Girls (Victoria is the second on the left) Victoria Beckham was born in 1974 in United Kingdom. She grew up in a large and wealthy family. Little Victoria adored the musical film ' Fame' and based on that she made a decision to pursue a musical career. Her dream started when she saw an advertisement which required girls who were '...
