Summary
| Description | Highgate Hill, Archway, North London. In the popular folk tale, Richard Whittington is said to have been leaving London, with his cat, when he reached Highgate Hill and heard the sound of Bow Bells in the distance; he turned back and ended up as Lord Mayor of London. Whittington was a real Lord Mayor back in the Middle Ages, but there's no evidence for the story, including him ever having had a cat; still it makes for a nice story and is a perennial pantomime tradition. The legend has also given its name to the local pub and hospital in Archway.. |
