London’s heart beats faster as the Life Guards clatter by UDDENLY, sharp against the humdrum roar of traffic, comes the clean clip of hoofbeats. Your S eye is caught by the bobbing scarlet of the Life Guards, or by sunlight blinking on the Horse Guards’ silver breastplates. All heads turn as the cavalry troop sweeps by with a brave jingle. London’s heart beats faster. Yours will, too. This is a daily scene from London’s passing show. It’s part of the ageless pageantry of Britain. In spring, summer, fall and winter, special red-and-gold days of pomp and circumstance await you. Whether you’re here for Trooping the Colour in June — or in November for the Lord Mayor’s Show—you will be struck by the British genius for showmanship in the grand manner and great tradition. It costs so little, nowadays, to visit this friendly country. You can fly round trip from New York to London for only $453.60 (to Scotland for $27 less); or go both ways by ship for $400—with an extra saving of $50 between September and April.
