1. London
   In 1837 the first public dining room in London was opened at Brown's Hotel Today the tradition of that period is revived with restaurant 1837, an example of hotel restaurants that offer elegant surroundings, impeccable service and fine French cuisine. Acclaimed chef Chef Gregory Nicholson, a disciple of Marco Pierre-White, has designed a contemporary menu prepared in the classical French style served with all the elegance and refinement of days gone by. The menu accompanies an outstanding wine list composed by head sommelier John Gilchrist, one of England's leading wine experts. The scope of the wine list features traditional chateaux and vintages. The graceful 80-seat dining room, paneled in the original oak is the perfect background for elegant dishes like Hand-dived Scallops steamed in their shell with fresh herbs and Vermouth; Fillet of Beef with a medallion of pan-fried duck liver served with a truffle and Madeira sauce; featherlight Dark Chocolate and Praline Mousse with Nougatine Ice Cream.
2. Diane Cilento -- London Times
   Diane Cilento ist die Tochter des Tropenmediziners Sir Raphael Cilento (1893-1985) und der Gynäkologin Lady Phyllis Cilento. Sie studierte Schauspiel sowohl in London als auch New York City, und debütierte 1951 in Des Königs Admiral, einem Abenteuerfilm mit Gregory Peck in der Hauptrolle. An der Seite von Michael Redgrave gab Cilento 1955 mit dem Drama Tiger at the Gates ihren Einstand am New Yorker Broadway. Für den Part der Helen erhielt die 1,70 m große Aktrice den Theatre World Award und eine Nominierung für den renommierten Theaterpreis Tony.
3. Victoria Beckham -- London Times
   Victoria Beckham was recently turned away from trendy New York restaurant, Michael’s after she refused to wait for a table. Victoria was placed on a wait for a table while restaurant staff spent their time tending to more “A-list” celebs, a spywitness claims.
4. Industrial Revolution -- London Times
   The Second Industrial Revolution was an outright failure. The Elephant Man, whilst attempting to restart the flow of time, mistook the future for the past and sent the Universe spiralling into the age of the Dinosaurs. It was only due to the remaining robotic dogs that the Dinosaurs could be extinctified and the normal flow of time reinstated. Another attempt was to follow.
5. Dave Gorman -- London Times
   A few years ago, Gorman, 31, decided it was time to grow up. He somehow convinced a publisher to advance him money to write a novel, but Gorman's obsession with surfing the Web led him to the high altar of Google.
6. Time
   Time, whose trademark is capitalized TIME, is a weekly American newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. A European edition (TIME Europe, formerly known as TIME Atlantic) is published from London. TIME Europe covers the Middle East, Africa and, since 2003, Latin America. An Asian edition (TIME Asia) is based in Hong Kong. Time publishes simultaneously in Canada, with separate advertising. The South Pacific edition, covering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, is based in Sydney.
7. London -- London Heathrow
   For transfers directly between London's airports, the fastest way (short of a taxi) is the direct inter-airport bus service by National Express [5]. Buses between Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton run at least hourly, with Heathrow-Gatwick services taking 65min (£18) and Heathrow-Stansted services 90min (£20.50) (note that services between Stansted and Luton run only every two hours). However, it's essential to allow leeway, as London's expressways, especially the orbital M25 and the M1 motorway, are often congested to the point of gridlock. Buses have toilets on board.
8. London Underground -- London Transport
   The idea of opening an underground, time-wasting transportation system in London actually started with the Romans. In AD 337 the Emperor at the time, Michelus Jacksonus, commissioned the Londinium Subterraenea, which was completed three years later. It was opened on 14 October 1066 with much fanfare, and then promptly forgotten about roughly four minutes later. In 1503 Sir William Hershey, discoverer of Youranus, re-discovered the Subterraenea, and drew up plans for a newer underground system.
9. London -- Greater London
   London [2] is the capital and largest city of both the United Kingdom and of England, and the largest city in western Europe. Situated on the River Thames in South-East England, Greater London has an official population of roughly 7.5 million people — although the figure of over 14 million for the city's total metropolitan area more accurately reflects London's size and importance. London is historically one of the great, "world cities," and remains a global capital of culture, fashion, finance, politics and trade.
10. London -- New London
    London — containing the City of London — is the capital of the United Kingdom and of England and is recognised as one of the key "world cities". With over seven million inhabitants (Londoners) in Greater London, it is the second-most populous conurbation in Europe, after Moscow. Founded as Londinium, the capital of the Roman province of Britannia, it later rose to become the centre of the British Empire. Today it generates over 17% of the GDP of the UK's economy, the world's fourth largest, and is a major financial centre along with New York and Tokyo. For several centuries, London has been one of the most influential powers in politics, finance, arts and fashion and remains so today.
