Grosvenor Square in the heart of Mayfair in London has often been called ‘Little America’, although it actually takes its name from the Grosvenors, the family who own the land there. It is where the first American Consulate in Britain was found, the consul being John Adams, who later became America’s second president. He was a Founding Father, and the wish to establish cordial relations with the former enemy nation is part of the reason he moved to a house in Grosvenor Square at the corner of Brook and Duke Streets, one which still stands.

London welcomes millions of visitors each year, and for many, their first experience of the city begins at one of its major airports. From the world-renowned Heathrow to the convenient London City Airport, the capital is served by six airports, each with its own unique character and advantages.

Did you know that, across the UK, only 2.7% of statues are of women who are not either royal or mythical? By my count there are now twenty eight statues of named non-royal women in London. Queens such as Victoria, Elizabeth and Anne have prominent statues and many mythological figures are also represented in female form.
