The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

If you are interested in history, then having visited the Wellington Arch, Apsley House and the statue of Wellington, then you must come here to see the huge powerful figure of Achilles, installed here as a public monument to the 1st Duke of Wellington. The scale seems appropriate given that there is a huge monument to Napoleon in the staircase hall of Apsley House nearby. And, if you stand at a particular location, you can see Achilles eyeing up yhe Hilton Hotel...

Have seen this many times and again this week from the top deck of a coach which unless you are really up close is the best way to see this unique work of bronze art that gives such an impact At first you may think that this is simple but when you look closely you will see that this is meaningful and striking

I turned up to Grosvenor Square with this in mind to see first of all and I looked around for ages but could not find it. I eventually looked at pictures other TA people had added and matched the buildings in the background only to realise building work is bein done on the patch where it sat. I looked over the fence at the spot where it is supposed to be and it wasn't there. Apparently, it was unveiled in 2011 so its not a relic but it's still a mighty shame that it appears we've lost the statue! Accoridng to my research, the statue has been moved to storage by the owners of the new plot. I sincerely hope it is put back in the area!

This statue stands in commemoration of the wartime alliance between United States and United Kingdom during the Second World War, to mark 50 years of peace after the war. This statue depicts life sized bronze sculptures of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill sitting on a bench in New Bond Street. A nice way to remind Londoners, Brits and our friends from overseas of our continued friendships.

Very clean, unfortunately the restaurant had closed due to a private event but staff were very helpful in directions to another one. Actual venue for the lecture was the Chemistry library, staff again helpful in directing to the correct room. Very enjoyable lecture
