"Savoy Court is the only road in Britain where cars drive on the right - traditionally women sat behind their driver, so the rules were changed so that they could exit the horse and carriage first."
London's Southbank never fails to entertain with its food markets, restaurants, street art, shows, and exhibitions. It's my favourite place in London!
James Blackler

Charles Cutting
