A Very Special Relationship

Celebrating a number of remarkable Americans who have had a decided impact both on London and on Britain, this walk begins on the forecourt of Charing Cross Station outside the Charing Cross Hotel and ends at Bond Street Station (Central and Jubilee Lines). Among the colourful (or should that be ‘colorful’?) characters featured on this walk are: the socialite who became the first woman to take her seat as a Member of Parliament; the inventor who made himself a set of wooden false teeth and used to sit naked at his front window; the general who spearheaded the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II; and the US President who shares a Bond Street bench with a British Prime Minister.
