Without looking at the web can anyone tell me what the Nike building at Oxford Circus used to be?

Also where was Marble Arch originally situated?

What was the orignal Regents Palace Hotel before being a hotel and which famous family does it involve?

A shepard can herd his flock of sheep over which london Bridge?

Which station is supposed to be the burial site of Bodicia?

Answer 1

On the flock of sheep, the rest having been covered: not any old shepherd, (and it refers to London bridge itself) but it is held as one of the classic rights of a Freeman of the city of London. (URL below added afterwards)

Though I am a Freeman of the City of London
(admitted through being a fellow of a worshipful company, in my case the 60th, in order of precedence.) I have never exercised that particular right, nor that of carrying a drawn sword within the confines of the City.

London's fun, from the stories of plague pits to the lost underground stations...

Answer 2

Marble Arch used to be situated outside the front of Buckingham Palace.

Bodica burial site is supposedly situated under i believe Platform 9 of Kings Cross Station

A shepard can herd a flock of sheep over London Bridge.

The Regents Palace Hotel was Crown Estate before being a hotel (i.e. it was owned by the Monarchy of Great Britain). The family involved were the Lyon family, famous for Lyon & Co Ltd.

Answer 3

Hello dear!
Well, I know the first ones to make a colony there, from which London was developed was the Greeks who traveled there to found the new Troy, under the advice of the Oracle of Artemis of Melite (today's Malta), some 3,300 years ago.
Since then, great progress took place, as the Oracle promised!

Answer 4

No, I can't.
