BTW - for my brithday treat, I took my wife to a traditional Pie and mash shop in London, very near Tower Bridge. One of the oldest shop/resturants still operating as a pie and mash..

You've guessed it, they only serve pie and mash with liquor (gravy) and eels.. She enjoyed the experience as the setting/shop fixtures and furniture, all very old, luckly they served vegan pies as she's a vegetarian.

I'd love to visit London someday.

For the same reason that French Fries are not called Belgian Fries or Baked Alaska is not called Norway Omelet. It’s not so much about where a thing comes from or even who invented a thing. It’s all about who makes a thing famous or why it becomes so well known.
However, like in all things there are exceptions. Example; Buffalo Wings are well documented as coming from a single restaurant in Buffalo New York.

Nah.. UK has changed.. Shops open all hours, Sunday trading restricts opening from 10.00 - 16.00. However, the finanical district is a ghost town over the weekend.

Service industry is improving but can't beat what you guys have.. London is always a great place to visit though.

It's a great place to visit, lots and lots to see and do. You can easily spend a week or two in London and not cover the same areas. And, as the UK is very London centric, it's easy to get to places outside of London or even Europe via the Eurostar..

We live about 25min train journey outside of London, commute into London every day and still head into London over a weekend to have a wonder or shop..
