These days London is known around world for its fast Fish and Chips plate, which were urban street food eaten from newspaper with salt and vinegar in the middle 19th century. Fish and Chip is also known as Chippy or Chipper in modern British slang and it is connected not only with history of UK but with art literature and culture of the country.  Everybody have heard about Charles Dickens  Oliver Twist, this that probably most of you don’t mention  is that the dish became popular in the wider circles due to “fried fish warehouse”  excerpt .
More I need to emphasize in the stereotype Afternoon Tea, cream tea assorted with fairy cakes or British butter biscuits (not cookies) or sandwiches, the Sunday roast with roast or boiled or mashed potatoes and roast meat as British combination. Of course London is an intercultural city, visitors could find variety of foreign food as Chinese or Thailand, Italian or Greek, Mexican, or Indian restaurants.

Its past traditions and future potential followed by rent holiday apartment London, where located throughout the city and there is always a gentle Sir or Lady to give you any advice. Vacation rentals London could be not only a travel and a unique experience for the rest of our lives.
