<h3>Let’s all go down the Strand (have a banana!) And let’s do it virtually with old photos, paintings, Google Earth street views, lots of stories and a few laughs on the way. You can even bring a banana.</h3><p><br></p><h3>The road called the Strand beside the River Thames is barely a mile long yet has so much to tell about the city.</h3><h3>It housed the riverside palaces of the Savoy, Somerset House and the Duke of Buckingham.</h3><h3>There’s an Egyptian obelisk on the embankment built to house a huge sewer. Close by is Benjamin Franklin’s house, then there’s the bustle of Trafalgar square and the idyllic gardens of Temple where there’s a 900 year old Crusader church and close by, the Royal Courts of Justice.</h3><h3><strong><strong>We’ll learn some weird and curious things too …</strong></strong></h3><h3>Like why were windows boarded up 250 years ago? Did Benjamin Franklin really want the turkey to be the bird symbol of the USA? Is there a streetlight powered by sewer smell? Or a pub split in half? How does a bridge clean itself? Why do the lions of Trafalgar Square have the paws of a cat? And then there’s Frank Sinatra singing to taxi drivers who told him to keep the day job. And what's all this about having bananas?</h3><h3>Intrigued? Join us for all this and more.</h3><p><br></p><h3><strong><strong>Details:</strong></strong></h3><h3>Zoom (you will be emailed the Zoom link on the morning of the tour)</h3><h3>75 minutes</h3><h3>Please note, start time is UK time and tour may be cancelled if too few sign ups.
