Music

• Several very famous bands and artists originated in London, for example: David Bowie, Dua Lipa, Mumford and Sons, Coldplay and more!
  
• It also hosts a variety of music festivals, from the jazz & funk festival Across The Tracks to the underground techno festival Wide Awake.  
  
• The UK is also home to countless famous artists who perform regularly in London, like Adele, Harry Styles, and (long ago) The Beatles. 
  

Food

• The full English breakfast, or fry-up, is internationally known for being rather large and heavy. But the average Brit does not have one every day!

• Fish and chips, meat and potato pies, and various puddings (desserts) are fan favourites.
