 Bayswater, the name given to the eastern part of the district of Paddington, is the small area of London. There are two strong theories where Bayswater originated: First, but with doubt, that it is derived from Ralph Baynard, a close friend of William the Conqueror. But it is more likely that it originates from the area’s main water source – Bayard’s Watering. The residential district that it is now known is only due to Industrialisation. With many budget hotels built from older houses, Bayswater is a great option for the budget travellers. Tourist attractions in the area include the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum and the London Toy and Model Museum. |

 The City, which lies on the north bank of the River Thames, covers about one square mile. Which is why The City is also sometimes known as the Square Mile. With boundaries of the Tower of London, the Temple Bar in the West, the River Thames to the South and Smithfield to the North. The City is also the oldest part of London, being the site where the Romans first founded the city of Londinium in AD43. Throughout its long history the district has had strong links with royalty and with business and it has always been an area of status. With the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the German bombing in the Blitz of the Second World War, The City has been through near total destruction, only to be rebuilt and restored to become the country’s centre of wealth and finance. Our own equivalent of Wall Street. With 300,000 odd people commuting away from the area every evening and weekend. |

 Originally built as the entrance archway to Buckingham Palace in 1827, by John Nash, who was influenced by the design of the Arch of Constantine in Rome. However, when the palace was extended in the 1840s the archway was deemed too small and thus moved to its present position, at the north-east corner of Hyde Park and the west end of Oxford Street, in 1851. The only people allowed to pass through Marble Arch are senior members of the Royal Family and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
