Impact of London’s culture

When I was traveling to iconic areas of London, I noticed a lot of different versions of hospitality. In the Tower of London, with an extremely dark past, the workers were very passionate about educating visitors about the history behind it all. Every corner, there was someone who could answer a question, as well as some workers do actually lived on the property! It was interesting to see the actual tower and inside of it, but on the other side was a full-on community! It made it so much more genuine because the people who work and live there don’t just do it as a job; clearly, there is a passion behind their culture and history, so it ups the level of respect we as tourists have for it all. When we went to the Borough Market, at first I was extremely overstimulated, there were so many people and so little walking room that it felt almost claustrophobic at first. I did see, though, that they had a little taste of everything there; every culture or genre of food was showcased, and it brought people of all walks together. The experience there was very different than going to a restaurant, it was very fast paced and they didn’t focus on the experience but more on getting in and out of the line, they could keep it going and serve as many people as possible. Going to the Eye and the British Museum, I learned so much history I never would’ve dreamed of knowing in these places. They create such a wonderful experience to dive into these buildings, and it’s not just about the sights; they have so much information to educate on the history behind everything in London. I think to further my hospitality career, I would use these people’s thirst for knowledge and continue to stay curious. The workers at these historical areas made sure to stay curious, and by doing that, they created an amazing experience for me as a guest, and I could imagine a million travelers leaving London knowing a lot more about the culture-rich city.
