I’ve been to the Dr Samuel Johnson House in the City of London. The home of Dr. Johnson, where he wrote the first comprehensive English Dictionary. One of the very few residential houses that were built in 1700 and are still standing. He was a true Londoner, who said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life"
