  • London's most British places for history, music, culture and more in England. Some 2,000 years after it was founded by the Romans, London, England, is now one of the world’s most international cities. You can find just about anything from anywhere here but we went to seek out the UK capital's most British of things from Big Ben to Abbey Road to the classic English breakfast. Cheers!

    Glad to see the Englishness in England especially in London. And, that English Breakfast looks scrumptious.

      ​@@BigSmallTravelwhen eating the breakfast ( in fact all meals ) use the knife and fork all the times but keep the knife in your preferred hand in the right hand if you're right handed , left handed in the left.
      When eating use the forks ( tangs ) facing down and like all meals put more than one type of food on the forks this will enhance the taste , of course the tangs are face down just like in all meals

    The Elizabeth Tower was never called Big Ben, as Big Ben is a bell. Its the largest bell in the tower, the one that strikes the hour. I believe the tower was previously called St. Steven's Tower.

      Thanks for watching of course, we appreciate it. Our point is that Big Ben was the nickname for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, and, by extension, for the clock tower itself. Are you in the UK?

      @@BigSmallTravel I expect this comment is about the etiquette. The British table manners are very different from that of Americans. You will notice for example that the fork is placed on the left side of the plate and the knife on the right. You are expected to eat with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right, throughout. Americans tend to use the fork in the right hand swapping it around when they need to use the knife. This is quite jarring to British table etiquette, especially in more formal surroundings.
      Here are some examples (there are many more):
      Start with Good Manners:
      - Wait until your host or hostess starts eating or indicates that you should do so.
      - Chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or having a drink.
      - Break bread and rolls with your fingers, not with your knife.
      - Soup should be spooned away from you, tilting the bowl away from you.
      Use Utensils Properly:
      - Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right.
      - The fork is primarily used for eating most of your food, while the knife is for cutting meat or supporting food.
      - Never hold both utensils in one hand.
      - place both utensils together on the plate when finished eating
      Serviettes, Crockery, and Cutlery:
      - Place your serviette (napkin) on your lap. If it’s small, you may open it out fully; if large, fold it in half with the fold toward you.
      - When finished eating, place soup spoons, coffee spoons, and dessert spoons on the side plate or saucer, never in the bowl or cup.
      - Avoid pushing your plate away or stacking dishes.

      @@graeradt Thank for the detailed explanation, we appreciate it for sure. The casual nature and relationship that most Americans have with food definitely plays a part in forming the way we as Americans even view or utilize cutlery. Are you from London?
