Visit the Postal Museum. Yes, there is a museum for mail. Yes, it is amazing. You can ride a tiny electric train through the old underground mail tunnels. They used to move letters under London at 30 miles per hour.
You’ll zip through darkness. You’ll see old sorting machines. You’ll exit feeling like you time-traveled. It’s the most fun you can have with stamps. I promise.
The Pub Logic
Monday is the best day for a pub. Why? No one is there. Sunday is for roast chicken and hangovers. Monday is for quiet pints and deep conversation.
Find a pub with a fireplace. The Princess Louise in Holborn is a masterpiece of Victorian tiles and etched glass. Drink a real ale. Watch the fire crackle. You’ll understand why the British are so obsessed with pubs. It’s therapy. It’s cheap therapy.
