These 11 Facts About London Are Calling for You

London has been around as a major settlement for at least 2,000 years, so there’s plenty of fascinating things about it that are worth digging up.

With that in mind, here are 11 facts about London that are bloody calling for you:

Due to its age, London looks like a huge spider web, compared to more modern cities with a grid system.  Roads and neighborhoods grow out of the city center haphazardly, with no real rhyme or reason.

#10. There are plenty of nooks and crannies. Good for killing people, apparently.

#9. But, about 33% of the men there are working on killing themselves.
