The coveted Golden frying pan is up for grabs as the legendary Leadenhall Market pancake race returns to The City of London for its 15th year.Hosted by the world-renowned market’s 18th century pub – The Lamb Tavern – the annual tradition is set to take place on Tuesday 13th February at 12:30pm and will see teams of four compete for glory during a 20m flipping relay on the Victorian covered Market’s ancient cobblestones.

The winning team will secure their place in Leadenhall history with their name inscribed on the Golden Frying Pan which is then displayed behind The Lamb’s bar for the remainder of the year. Winners can also look forward to a Lamb Tavern Hamper, while runners up in second place can earn themselves a £50 bar tab and third place will be awarded with a bottle of prosecco. And of course, all competitors can expect free pancakes. Losing teams will receive the consolation of one of The Lamb Tavern’s famous scotch eggs (cut into quarters!)

In recognition of Leadenhall Market’s iconic City status, participants are invited to don bowler hats, while Market personality Charlie from London City shoeshine will provide a running commentary of the much-loved annual event.

Titanic Museum is a must in Beifa

I rushed to the perfect visa and took a taxi straight to the Titanic Museum. Student ticket 19 pounds, remember to bring student ID. There are places to rent interpreters and souvenir shops. I bought a fridge magnet. The business hours are 10:00-17:00, and it takes us about 2 hours to complete the tour. You may think the ticket price is expensive, but I can only say that it is worth it.

The whole building is a huge exhibition hall, starting from the industrial development of Belfast before the Titanic was built, to the company that built the ship, how the ship was built, some of the design records of the Titanic's construction, the Titanic's interior, Morse code, the signals sent before the sinking, the causes of the tragedy, the postscript of the survivors... And so on and so forth.

There are many, many people in the museum, there will be some crowded, we are fast, not all of the content carefully read, but also experienced some interesting projects in interactive content: tapping Morse code, watching the treatment of different classes of people on the ship, immersive watching the inside story of shipbuilding... There is still a lot of screen interaction, animation, voice, immersion is very strong.

One wall records the names of all the missing, and the words on the screen change to show the number of survivors, the proportion of women to children, the proportion of first class survivors and so on. Looking at the eyes a little wet, more than 2,000 people of the giant ship only 700 people left, and see the next exhibition hall on the cause of this tragedy more feel sorry.

At the beginning of the exhibition hall, I was a little bored when I introduced the building of the ship, but as I walked into the next exhibition hall one by one, I got closer and deeper to the ship... Be sure to visit Belfast to see the life of this huge ship 100 years ago. Outside the museum, the wind blew colder.
