This one-hour special celebrates London’s proud traditions. With Kings, Queens, Beefeaters, Big Ben and black cabs, it’s a cultural and historic powerhouse. We’ll cruise the Thames, get fancy at an afternoon tea, then jog with the locals. We’ll ogle street art…enjoy a food tour… remember Britain’s heroes and marvel at how its industrial past has become a foundation for a promising future.
