Isleworth

Thames-side in the west of London sits old Isleworth (pronounced IZZ-el-worth), a quaint little village with a "time forgot" quality.  Today we strolled its quiet lanes.

Straight on is the London Apprentice pub, with a history
reaching back into the 15th century.  The pub is said to have
been frequented by such personages as Henry VIII,
Charles I, Lady Jane Grey (the 9 days queen), and
Oliver Cromwell.

  1. Thanks for another history lesson. It looks like no rain so you could get out and a about. I like quaint villages.
