Somewhere in Time
By Peter Lee
Probably, the best way to explore London if you are nostalgic soul is to be accompanied by John Barry's "Somewhere in
Time" themes while savoring the secrets in the museum. Here's some tips for you to figure out how London was liked 1,000
years ago:
- Most structures in London were mainly constructed with woods covered in a mixture of clay, straw and cow dung. Windows
were just little gaps or holes deliberately made in the walls - the interiors of the structures were mainly dark.
- Londoners ate with their hands and meat cutting knives as forks
were not invented yet. What was the most popular food?
Not fish and chips or beef. Pork was the major food staple in London then.
London was then about the size of Kuching in terms of land and population. It was far from the status of a great
cosmopolitan. London population has grown 17500% since then!
- Londoners generally spent their leisure times riding around its countryside, practicing archery without the ambition to be
Robin Hood and the older people normally played chess. Backgammon, noughts and crosses were invented then to keep themselves
occupied with more varieties.
- There are certainly much to be amazed in your journey through the map of London as a great city through time. Go ahead and
enjoy its richness. But note: unlike many other cosmopolitans, London is pretty quiet in the weekends.
