London s Old Landmarks
H istory
t’?*
However, after three days In
the city before going to tk„
continent and two more *
since our return, we
learned to like London
much and wotild like to
stayed longer.
On Sunday morning, following
our arrival, we were taken on'a
tour of the city. Just as London
is the heart of Britain, so Picca
dilly Circus is the heart of Lon
don. It shares with Big Ben the
position of London’s landmark
as the Umpire State Building is
New York’s trademark, and the
Eiffel Tower, the trademark of
Paris. Circus here means circle
formed by the junction of five
principle' streets; Shaftesbury
Avenue, Coventry Street, Lb.Wer
Regent Street, Piccadilly and
Regent street. When the traffic
starts pouring into Piccadilly
Circus from all these streets the
result is really a circus, A
familiar part of the scene are
the’ huge, red two-decker city
buses.
The famous statue of Eros,
goddess of love, sits atop a foun
tain in the centre of the circle
which keeps the cars from climb
ing all over .each other’s fenders.
You’ve seen pictures of Picca
dilly Circus in practically every
film that’s supposed to have its
locale in London?
Trafalgar , Sqpdim vies with
Piccadilly CU'cral ns the centre
of West End traffic. In the
centre of the? square is a 143-
foot high granite: column topped
by the figure of Lord Nelson,
victor of the great naval battle
of Trafalgar. 1
^JBen - we arrived at Kensing-
-JbBW a, a lace Hotel, London, on
Waturday evening, September 15,
.an all day drive from
Leeds, we felt rather lost know
ing we were in one of the largest
cities of the world. I remember
thinking “I’ll never -venture out-

See Downing Street
We passed by a narrow little
street — almost an alley on
the right. ,,-It’s Downing Street,
one of the most famous and
most important in oyr Western
world, Our guide pointed out No.
10, which was similar to all the
other houses in, the street ex
cept that a ’‘bobby” stands in
front or the door. This small,
three-storey building • is the
official residence of the Prime
Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, and
former home of
Churchill,
We came to
Abbey, the scene
coronations sipce .....,, „ ,
Confessor was crowned there in
1042, Divine Service was in
progress, and we sat down and
listened for a few minutes.
Just inside the Great West
Door as we entered, was the
grave of the Unknown Soldier.
The body was placed here in the
presence of King George V,
Queen Mary, Queen Alexandria,
the Queen of Norway, the Prince
of Wales (now Duke of Windsor),
Mr, Lloyd George, prime minis
ter, and a great gathering .of
people on November 11, 1920.
The tombstone is a slab of black
Belgian marble and bears the
inscription: “They buried him
among the Kings because he had
done good toward God and to
ward His House.” The tombstone
is surrounded by red poppies,
Owing to the pressure of time:
in our tour, we did not see as'
much of this building as we
would have liked to, so we came
back on our own later to browse
around. The Abbey is now
undergoing extensive renova
tions and certain parts were
closed.
The South Transept is known
as the “Poets’ Corner,” and here
can be seen the tombs of Chau
cer, Macaulay, Browning and
Tennyson, who are actually
buried here, and memorials to
Milton-, Tennyson, Burns. Southey
Coleridge, Wordsworth, Dr.
Johnson and many others. One
memorial we noted was to Dr.
H. Lyle, writer of “Abide With
Me.” We had noticed a monu
ment to him in the cemetery of
a church at Nice where he had
gone for his health.
Commemorate, Famous Men
In, former days, people could
be buried in- the Abbey on pay-
,ment of a fee, and there, are
many memorial? erected to
people of little consequence. But
many of England’s greatest men
are commemorated in the nave,
including Sir Campbell Banner-
man, Neville Chamberlain, and
Ernest Bevin, and men of
science such as Newton, Darwin
and Sir Gilbert Scott.
• The last king to be interred m
the Abbey was Geoi'ge II. Since
then our Kings and Queens have
been buried at Windsor.

(ADMAN’S NOTE—Poor Lou had a tough day Monday. He
ripped his $30 suede, jacket on the office chair, missed his
dinner, forgot about the tinsmiths coming to fix his furnace
*and sold the same car to two different buyers. When we
tackled him for an ad, he couldn’t ev.en think of one of 111$
screwball headings. If you want a good car deal, how’s the
time 4o see him.)
