ʻIke i ka West End o Lākana
Ua hele muaʻoe i kahi alanui Lādana a ua noʻonoʻoʻoe pehea ka moʻolelo o ia wahi? Pehea ka inoa o ke alanui? He aha kēlā hale i laila? ʻO wai ka mea i noho ma laila? He aha ka mea maʻaneʻi ma mua? A lailaʻo ka puke kēia e pono ai. Ua hoʻopaʻaʻia me nā Gold iʻewalu mau kikowaena waena o Lādana a nānā pono i kēlā me kēia alanui ma ke akahele a me kaʻike hohonu.
ʻO ka mea kākau
ʻO ka mea kākauʻo David Long, nāna - a ke'ōlelo nei au i kēia manawa i ka hoʻomakaʻana o kekahi puke moʻolelo o kekahi o kāna mau kuleana - he mea mahalo au.
ʻO David Long kahi mea kākau nui loa i kākau i nā puke he nui e pili ana iā Lonana (e nānā i nā pane hou aku ma lalo nei). Hoʻopiʻi ka lōʻihi i ka moʻolelo o London me kāna noiʻi kūʻokoʻa a me nā mea pilikino.
Nā Kūkai
E like me ka Paved a me ke Gold i ka West End (waenakonu o Lādana), aia nā maheleʻewalu: Mayfair, St James, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, Soho, Covent Garden a Strand, Westminster, a Belgravia.
E hoʻomaka ana kēlā me kēia'āpana kaiāulu me kahi palapala'āina a me kekahi mauʻaoʻao e hōʻike ana i ka mea e hoʻomanaʻo pinepine mai ana iā mākou i nā hoʻomaka haʻahaʻa no kēia mau wahi waiwai i kēia manawa.
Puka Hōʻuluʻulu
Ua paʻiʻia i ka pauʻana o ka makahiki 2015, ua loaʻa kēia 376 mauʻaoʻao ma kēia puka nui. Māheleʻia nā alanui no kēlā me kēia wahi ma ka papa āpau a me kahi māmala'ōlelo piha. E mālama i ka helu, Paved a me Gold ke pale nui o nā alanui ma Lādana ma West End akāʻaʻole nā mea a pau.
Aia ma mua o 200 mau kiʻiʻeleʻele a me ke keʻokeʻo i loko o ka puke, a me ka'āpana pāʻani he 16-piha i ka piha piha i waenakonu.
Ma kēlā me kēia manawa he mauʻaoʻao i hoʻolaʻaʻia i kekahi kumuhana e like me "The London Club" e ho'ākāka ana i keʻano o nā kumu o nā loina ma Lākana. A iʻole "Ke Kiʻi o kahi Grosvenor Square" e hōʻike nei i kahi hanana o ka hanana.
ʻO kaʻu Manaʻo Hoʻoholo
Ua noho wau a heluhelu i kēiaʻaoʻao ma kaʻaoʻao me ka mea e manaʻo ana ka nui o ka poʻe heluhelu e hoʻohana ia mea ma keʻano he puke kākau a nānā i nā alanui e pili ana iā lākou.
Uaʻoluʻolu ka heluheluʻana i nā Mokuna e like me ka papa kuhikuhi pī'āpā e pili ana i nā alaʻaʻole i heluʻia i kahi e loaʻa ai iā lākou ma ka'āina.
He nui a nui ka buke iʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa e noho ma ka home aʻaʻohe mea e hele pū meʻoe i ka huliʻana. Akā, ke manaʻo nei wau he mea nui kēia i nā manawa hauʻoli ma ka home e hoʻohana ana iā Google Street View e nānā i ka West End.
Loaʻa ka lōʻihi o ka noiʻiʻana o ka lōʻihi aʻo ka heluheluʻana ia mea hiki ke noʻonoʻo me he mea lā e hele anaʻoe i nā alanui me kekahi hoaʻike.
Loaʻa nā moʻolelo pili o nā poʻe i hala aku nei: nā poʻe kaulana a me nā moʻolelo o nā mea kupanaha iʻike nuiʻia i kēia manawa. A he mau kuhikuhi aku i nā pā polu e like me ka mea maʻalahi i nā manawa a pau e hiki ai keʻike i nāʻano waiwai ma kekahi wahi.
ʻO nā mea kiko'ī he hale i hoʻonohonohoʻia e William Kent i hōʻikeʻia he "hale maikaʻi loa ma Lākana" a ma kahi eʻike aiʻoe i ka monument kuleana mua loa ma London.
I kekahi manawa,ʻikeʻole au i nā hiʻohiʻona aʻu i leʻaleʻa ai ma nā alanui (e like me nā kiʻiʻo Bourdon Place) akāʻo ka hapa nui he mea hou eʻikeʻia ma nāʻaoʻao a pau e hana nei i kēia puke no ka poʻe Lākona me ka poʻe i heleʻole.
Aia kekahi hōʻike nani loa o kahi hale mokuʻaina nui ma Georgina i Mayfair, piha me nā kaʻa a me nā puka komo, ua hele wau i kahi'ē akāʻaʻole naʻe i hoʻomaha i ka mahalo.
ʻO nā hānau nui, nā make a me nā hewa ma kahi o ka wahi. Ua hoʻomaka wau e noʻonoʻo wau e hele wāwae ana me nā'ōmole eʻike wau ināʻaʻole au i hala i nā hele a pau, akā, akā,ʻo ia wale nō ke ola i kahi eʻike ai kekahi i kaʻike.
I kekahi manawa ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi mea e hoʻonui ai (e like me ka L. Ron Hubbard's Fitzroy House ma ke alanui Fitzroy) akāʻo ka hapanui wau e kākau nei i nā wahi i makemake au e hoʻi mai i hiki iaʻu ke nānā hou aku iā lākou me ka hoihoi hou. ʻAʻole au i hoʻolohe i ka hale hana o Cleveland ma kahiʻoi aku o ka hoʻouluʻana no ka hale hana i Oliver Twist na Charles Dickens e like me kona nohoʻana ma kahi kokoke. A iʻole i ka moʻolelo ma hope o nā inoa o nā pū ma Lākana e like me ka Blue Posts. (Kapaʻia ma hope oʻelua mau pou / bollards ma kahi pāpale kahi e kali ai i kahi noho poʻohiwi, e like me ke kau kaʻa.)
A i koʻu aloha wale nō he mau'ōlelo e pili ana i ka manawa maoliʻo kēia "nā ākea".
Nā mea hana hou
He meaʻoluʻolu ia e heluhelu i ka manawa o nā manawa o nā hale i ho'ōlaʻia a hoʻohana houʻia ma kahi'ē aʻe aiʻole e mālamaʻia a hōʻikeʻia i loko o kahi hale hōʻikeʻike e like me ka V & A. Hōʻikeʻia nā kola mai Carlton House i mua o ka National Gallery ma Trafalgar Square , a ua paniʻia nā kapuahi ma ka Halealiʻiʻo Buckingham a me ka Castleʻo Windsor .
ʻAʻohe mea aʻu i likeʻole ai?
ʻO nā kiʻiʻeleʻele a me ke keʻokeʻo,ʻaʻole ia he mau kiʻi maʻalahi loa a makemake wau e lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka pāʻani i kēlā me kēlā me kēia panaʻana iʻole e lilo i poʻe kānaka me nāʻeke i hoʻopaʻaʻia i loko o ke kīʻahi a iʻole nā pahu i hala. Akā,ʻo nā hua'ōlelo i lawe mai i ke kūlana o ke ola noʻu a me nā kiʻi wale nō.
Ka Hopena
Ua paʻiʻiaʻo Gold me kekahi pukeʻoluʻolu'ē aʻe e David Long. Inā pahaʻoe eʻike ana iā Lāmana maikaʻi a iʻole e hoʻomaka wale nei eʻike i ka hauʻoli o ke kūlanakauhale, e aʻo nuiʻoe i kēia puke.
