The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays the wonderful works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897.
Come to this lovely restaurant to have meze- a mix of many different hot & cold dishes for £12.50. Try bakla- a broad bean salad, borek, a cheese stuffed pastry and meat stews and kofte, a minced lamb kabab.
Between August and November 1888, the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of five brutal murders. The killer was dubbed 'Jack the Ripper'. All the women murdered were prostitutes, and all except for one - Elizabeth Stride - were horribly mutilated.
The previous building burnt down in 1834 and the current one was completed by 1870. It was built in the Neo-Gothic style which was fashionable then. One part survived the fire, Westminster Hall, which dates from the 12th Century.
