Black Taxi 
The black taxis of London are a big part the British culture image. The first taxi in this impressive capital city ran in the 17th century, when it was a hackney carriage pulled by horses. Since then the cab has modernised to keep in with the times.


Red Phone Box 
The iconic Red Phone Box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott after his proposal was accepted by the General Post Office. These phone boxes were distributed amongst the streets of London, then spread across the nation. 


Fish & Chips 
Traditionally, Fish and Chips was a meal for the working-class citizens of the UK due to the increase in cod and haddock trawl fishing. There are so many wonderful accompaniments that work well with this classic British dish such as mushy peas, baked beans and even curry sauce.
