Tea time in London

In the office.
And on the beach

The web magazine for top managers - who's promoted, who came, who left? And what to do when you're not in the office.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will land on the airport in a few minutes, please fasten your seat belts and raise the tables.

Temperature in London is 10 Celsius degrees, weather is shi., excuse me, it's raining. In the name of our company I wish you a pleasant stay.

London Heathrow Airport is the world's busiest airports and third for total traffic, and London is the world's largest financial centre with the highest GDP per capita of any European's cities. And here you are. Put your stuff in 51 Buckingham Gate apartments that is perfectly situated near Buckingham Palace and Houses of Parliament from you can go on tour to numerous London's attractions. Save your strength for evening to visit some of London's fabulous clubs. Our eye catch The Old Queens Head club first, for its sound so "English" and for we suppose that it is a little bit less noisy that regular one, and it looks very nice, too.

Visit London Eye (Millennium Wheels), Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral. In The Tower of London you will have good fun. First because you will see one actor’s scene from the past and best of all chamber with Queen's jewels. The Tower of London is probably best known by its guards called Yeoman Warders or like they like to call them, Beefeater. There are twelve of them and their job is to protect British crown jewels. There is one legend about another Tower's protectors and they are ravens. Six ravens live at the tower for a centuries and every one had its name. Legend said that if the ravens leave Tower of London entire kingdom would fall. Weak spot, a?

Because you are in England, act like an Englishman. Daily tea time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, high quality biscuits and cakes. After that ritual you are ready to go to Greenwich, a district in south-east part of London, beautiful town which dominate Georgian and Victorian architecture and the place of world's prime meridian. Approximately time of waiting to step on the prime meridian and make picture - 20 minutes. Get back to London and do some shopping. Your targets are New Bond Street and Oxford Street. Spend, spend, spend...

Save one day to visit Hyde Park. The park covers 142 hectares so you can walk for hours, rollerblade (seriously, you took rollers with you?) or even find some horses for romantic ridding in two. Possibilities are wide. If your tushy and etc. allows you, walk to see St. Paul's Cathedral, if not, leave it for another day. St. Paul's Cathedral stands there from 7th century and survives few redecorations. Last version arose after one big fire in 17th century. There are buried names as Nelson, Wellington and Churchill. The dome of St. Paul's Cathedral is among the biggest in the world and it is just little bit smaller than the dome of St. Peter's basilica in Vatican.

A girl comes into a church to confess. "Father, I slept with a priest from another village. Is it a sin?" "Of course, my dear child", said a priest. "It's a sin. You belong to this village." That was a "church one".

The Queen, (God Save the Queen!) and Tower Bridge are two most famous symbols of London. Two sides in the middle of the bridge rise when biggest ships passing buy. Fascinating scene, I think. Long ago, water steam powered engines did that, today Mr. Bosch does this responsible job. Below the bridge you can see steamship Dixie Land (so British are "steamy" if you look on right places) and war cruiser HMS Belfast that took part in Invasion of Normandy.

Ladies and gentleman, we hope you enjoyed travelling with our company. Until the next time, have a pleasant day.
