Legendary Londoners
Many real and fictional characters have been associated with London through the centuries.
Let’s find out more about some of London’s most famous names.
Let’s find out more about some of London’s most famous names.
Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes was a fictional Victorian detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the early 1900s. The stories are written in the voice of Doctor Watson, Holmes` friend and assistant crime-solver.
Many of the stories are set partly in London and include fictional characters from its criminal underworld. In the novels, Sherlock Holmes lived at 221B Baker Street, now a Building Society.
Charles Dickens
As a young man the Victorian novelist Charles Dickens worked as a reporter in the law courts and at the Houses of Parliament. He got to know the city well and describes many Londoners and districts in all his major books.
One of Dickens` homes, 48 Doughty Street in Bloomsbury, is open as a Dickens Museum. He lived there from 1837 to 1839 when he wrote Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nicklebv.
Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper was a notorious murderer who terrorised London in 1888.He prowled the slums of the Spitalfields area and committed five murders in ten weeks despite 600 policemen being sent to catch him.
The identity of the Ripper is one of the great unsolved crime mysteries although there are many theories about him.
Dick Whittington
Dick Whittington is one of London’s best-known legends.
The story goes that Dick Whittington was a poor country boy who walked to London to seek his fortune, carrying his few belongings in a bundle on the end of a stick.
Dick got a job as a cook’s boy in the house of a merchant, Mr. Fitzwarren, and he bought a cat to help him keep down the mice in his tiny room. But he was treated badly by the cook and eventually decided to go home.
As Dick got to the edge of London the Bow Bells rang out and what they said persuaded Dick to return: “Turn again Dick Whittington, Thrice Lord Mayor of London “. Meanwhile Dick`s cat had gone on-board a ship.
The cat was a good rat- catcher and killed a plague of rats in a distant country. The Emperor bought the cat for a fortune which was returned to Dick. He became a wealthy merchant and was Lord Mayor of London three times.
There was a real Dick Whittington who became Lord Mayor three times in the early 1400s. He came to London and set up as a merchant. The cat legend may come from the coal barges called “cats “, which Whittington owned.

Customs and Traditions
How do the British celebrate traditional and religious holidays?
Easter
Easter day is named after the Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, whose feast took place at the spring equinox. Easter is now the spring feast of the Christian church, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus. It falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April, according to the church calendar.
Traditionally Easter eggs, dyed and decorated or made of chocolate, are given as presents symbolizing new life and the coming of spring.
Egg rolling competitions take place in northern Britain on Easter Monday; hard – boiled eggs are rolled down a slope, with the winner being – according to local preference – the one which rolls the furthest, survives the most rolls, or is successfully aimed between two pegs! The best publicised even takes place at Avenham Park in Preston, Lancashire.
Easter parades are also part of the Easter tradition, with those taking part wearing Easter bonnets or hats, traditionally decorated with spring flowers and ribbons.

Celebrating Valentine `s Day
Valentine `s Day was enthusiastically celebrated by our school community. All the students and a great number of teachers and other school stuff got involved in the several activities organized.
Among all these activities Karaoke played an important role. In fact, it allowed us to discover that our students are naturally engaged to singing – some of them can even be considered prominent stars.
Team work, friendship, cordiality also characterised this magnificent festivity where everyone had the chance to … sing along …
Feel free to express yourself about it!

Valentine `s Day
VALENTINE `S DAY "POEMS"
I wish I were a china cup
From which you drink your tea
And every time you took a drink
You would be kissing me.
I `m not sending you roses,
Like the others guys might do
I `m sending you an orchid,
Because it is special like you.
Valentine …
I love you
For your warm
And caring ways,
Everything
About you adds
Such sunshine
To my days
I `m yours
You `re mine
Please be
My Valentine!
On a scale of sexy
between one and ten
You `re a 1 and a 0
multiplied over and over again!
Valentines are stupid,
Valentines are dumb,
So why do we get so upset
If no one sends us one?
Although we are no longer one,
And we live far apart,
This Valentine is sent to you
Because you still own my heart.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Carnations are sweet
And so are you.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Darling sweet
I love you.
Violets are blue
Carnations are sweet
And so are you.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Darling sweet
I love you.
