London: Notable neighborhoods
Sometimes an entire neighborhood is a sight in and of itself
Sometimes an entire neighborhood is a sight in and of itself
Spend a day in Greenwich, a Thameside village on London's eastern outskirts by which the world sets it clocks, with a rich maritime history, stellar little museums, and the Prime Meridian
A bustling plaza of buskers, tourists, theatre-goers, and pub crawlers at the heart of London's West End
London's old Bohemian neighborhood is firmly in the tourist and nightlife zone now, but still packed with great cheap eateries
The generic British word for dessert is "pudding."
In the 19th century, the "g" was sometimes pronounced as a harder "k." Sometimes, the "n" got dropped. Sometimes that was shortened by slicing off the "pud."
In other words, small, incremental changes resulted in pudding->puddink->puddik->dick.
It's not meant to be dirty; it's just a Victorian synonym for "dessert."
Pepper a cake with currants or raisins, and you get "spots" in your pudding, hence: spotted dick.
