Fri, 7 September 2007 We reach the concluding episode of the Summer In The City 2007 journey, where we visit the BBC World Service's HQ at Bush House, also Australia House, go to church and end up at the pub! The episode starts by looking back at Covent Garden and then walks past a couple of theatres holding major productions such as Lord Of The Rings. The walk then takes us to Aldwych where we find the magnificent Bush House, home of the BBC World Service. We then take a look at Australia House before entering St. Clements Church, spiritual home of the military Royal Air Force. At midday we hear the bells playing the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons' - see the website http://www.rhymes.org.uk/oranges_and_lemons.htm which shows the lyrics that mentions this church. After this church visit it's time to go over the road to that age old British institution for some very different spirits, the public house (or 'pub'). The George has been around for hundreds of years and is a great place to finally rest our legs after that long journey. I hope you enjoyed Summer In The City 2007 - normal content programming from London Landscape TV resumes from next week. Comments[0] |
