![]() Dear Anglophiles: Here at Anglophiles United, my goal is to provide news, information, and entertainment that is British-themed for those who love Britain as much as I do. But today, I have a question for you! I'm heading to London and would like to know your favorite off-the-beaten-track spots in the capital city. Do you know of any hidden gems? Spots that "wow" you? As they say: "Inquiring minds want to know!"

Hmmm tough question. Watching the pelicans in St.James Park and any Hummus Bros. But my favorite undiscovered Place are any black cab drivers. Knowledgeable, friendly and extraordinarily kind.

Ohh, feeding the pelicans at St. James Park does sound lovely, Beth! Thank you much! (And yes, those taxi drivers are the best!)

If you don't mind traveliling about 1h 1/2 south from central London, then I can recommend Hever Castle & Gardens. A beautiful little castle (with lots of Henry VIII related history) and perfect gardens for leisurely stroll/picnic. They also have jousting events (check if that is on when you plan to visit if you like that kind of thing). You could go by train (1h) from Victoria station with Southern railway to Edenbridge then take a bus from there (+ a 5 min walk) or just take a taxi/Uber from Edenbridge.

Barbara, thank you so much for your response! I love having little-known places in London (or in all of Britain, for that matter) on file!

Dave, what a great list of suggestions! Thank you very much! Many of those are quite new to me. Hope you're enjoying Oz--and that you get to return to England. I sense you love the UK as much as I do!

Dave, no, your list of "hidden places" in the UK was brilliant! These London sites are great too. Thank you!
