- I take you on a tour of London while explaining idioms and expressions that (mostly) originated here. If you're visiting London you'll find some cool places to visit and if you're learn English you'll learn some new expressions. We'll also look at the history of the idioms and places in London. During our tour we'll take you to Covent Garden, The City of London, Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall (where they sold tickets for the Titanic) and The East End. We'll get an English breakfast at E. Pellicci in Bethnal Green and drink coffee at the Roastery Café in Covent Garden and the Crypt in St Martin in the Fields. The bonus is about the Beatles.
