During World War II many of Europe’s royal families were in exile, one of whom was King Peter of Yugoslavia who fathered his son prince Alexander in suite 212.
Churchilll declared the room to be part of Yugoslavia for one day and Yugoslavian earth was placed under the bed so he could be born on Yugoslav soil.
Then Churchill discovered he hadn’t been re-elected and came to Claridges to commiserate.
Gordon Ramsey used to run the restaurant but no longer since losing his Michelin star.
Brook Street is also home to the Handel Hendrix museum.
The word brook refers to the Tyburn river which used to run here.

Burlington Arcade
1819 - Lord Cavendish inherited Burlington house and built this covered arcade to stop people throwing things into his garden.
He recruited beadles from his old regiment the 10th Hussars so his wife and friends could shop unmolested. These beadles are now the oldest police force in the world.
No running, whistling or opening umbrellas.

Caerphilly Castle - Places To See In Wales, Episode1
We visit the largest castle in Wales in the first episode of our new series “Places To See In Wales” We’ll be taking a look at some famous and not so famous places around our home country of Wales.
Caerphilly Castle is a is medieval castle just north of Cardiff in South Wales. It was built in the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare. It was used as a base to conquer Glamorganshire and there was extensive fighting between Gilbert and the Welsh.
The castle is in the centre of the town and there are great views around the area. It costs £8.50 (Dec 18) to enter the castle and it’s big enough to spend a couple of hours there. #VisitWales
One of the most striking things about the castle is the leaning south east tower. It leans at 10 degrees, there is some debate as to whether the damage was caused during the English Civil War or as a result of subsidence when the castle fell into disrepair.
Caerphilly Castle has been used as a location for many TV and film productions including many episodes of Dr Who, Wolf Hall and Restoration with Robert Downey Jr.
