There is also the London Aquarium and Wembley. If you want some thrills thrown in to your trip to London then the London Dungeon where you can enjoy an historic horror event such as the Great Fire of London, all interactively.
Going up the country to the Midlands you will find a lot forests and castles, such as the popular Sherwood Forest in Nottingham where Robin Hood was said to reside. The Midlands are also famous for their extensive and varied assortment of museums, from days gone by museums to the prize winning museum of law trust. If you admire locomotives and railways then the Midlands is the area to go with its locomotives and railways that consist of some of the days-gone-by locomotives and vintage pieces.
Eventually as we move further North we approach Scotland, a country drenched in history, with astounding views, architecture, castles, gardens and palaces. The most well-known of all the Scottish castles is Edinburgh Castle with its lengthy construction history where parts of the structural design have said to the beginning of the Century.

It is one opinion in Shih Tzu History documentations that the Scandinavian imports were nearer to the direct imperial line, although those who brought the first Imperial Shih Tzu to the British Isles did so at about the same time. These early English and Irish fanciers acted according to the best knowledge available to them and went to very great trouble to secure the finest possible specimens of the breed. However, noted throughout shih tzu history, is the fact that a Danish couple were able to bring home a "palace-born" Imperial Shih Tzu.
A Shih Tzu named Lung-Fu-Ssu was one of the first three Shih Tzu to have been brought to Europe from Peking. A woman by the name of Miss Hutchins brought the black and white dog to Ireland in 1930 and exhibited him at the Cheltenham Show in 1933.
In England in 1937, Lady Brownrigg imported Hibou and Shu-Ssa and a shih tzu called Yangtse was born in quarantine. These were some of Lady Brownrigg's first shih tzu.
In pictures, of which I have seen, of these early shih tzu, their coats were a "shaggy mess." It would seem the norm in those days was more of an "unkept" look. Their hair very long and covering their eyes. They were typically smiling, showing their teeth and hanging out their tongues in these early pictures as well. It is written that it was a small wonder that they seem to have made a highly favorable impression. At that time they were mistakenly described as Apsos in England.
Of note is that in early photographs of the Scandinavian imports, shih tzu sitting up on their hindquarters in a fascinating pose which comes naturally to the breed and which they must have inherited from their palace ancestors as well.
I ran across a picture of Chumulari Hsing Yun, a gold bitch with black mask sitting on her hindquarters such as mentioned in the above paragraph and it reminded me of the look from my Danny Boy and Jane Jane. Shih Tzu history is so fascinating I don't believe anyone will ever unravel all the legends and mysteries associated with the shih tzu breed.
