Just checked on the chemist - as far as I can tell London claims to have the first 24 hour chemist in the UK: Zafash Pharmacy on Old Brompton Road first went 24 hour back in 1994. Not sure if it's still the only one in London or even the UK though.

I think this has been mentioned before, but what about the fake houses at 23-24 Leinster Gardens that disguise an opening in the District and Metropolitan Line tube tunnel between Paddington and Bayswater?

There are 24 private bus companies that run TfL contracted bus services in Greater London.
The total is arrived at by counting the different bits of Arriva as separate firms as well as London Central and London General as being separate.
