This website, A-London-Tourist-Guide has been found by the Search Engines for so many queries that I have decided to create a London FAQs web page so that you can find answers to the most sought after questions both quickly and easily. The form to use is at the bottom of this page Or Click Here to be taken directly to it.
It is my intention that anyone who wishes to do so can participate in these FAQs whether to ask a question or to respond to one and give an answer.
There is another quick way to get an answer to a question, but at the moment this only applies to questions on London History.
Just click on the site search button which you can find at the top of the left hand navigation column just under the Home Page button. In fact it is directly to the left of the first line of this paragraph.
However, at the present moment, by using this method you can only access pages from William the Conqueror to Queen Elizabeth 1, with a few exceptions like The Great Fire of London, Roman London, Doctor Johnson, and Urban Myths such as The Highgate Vampire and the first few parts of Sweeney Todd being included.
It is my intention to add many more pages of London history as quickly as I can. Yes there is much much more to come. It will also contain lots of current topical interests. There is a lot of work to do.
So, come on then let's have your questions AND answers submitted to A-London-Tourist-Guide FAQs Page. All you London history buffs get your thinking caps on and if it is within our collective capabilities to answer them we will do so.
