The unknown London (tips)

According to an article I’ve found on the Internet, there’s a non-popular London among tourists and even unknown for some locals, well here some of those places I will pass by one of these days:

  • Highgate cemetery (Karl Marx's tomb is there)
  • On Abbey Road towards Grove End Road’s corner was taken the picture of the Beatles, which ended up being the cover of the album with the same name
  • In one of the buildings on Regent’s Park must have existed the Export Universal, the society which undercover the Secret Service branch run by M, 007’s boss
  • Jimi Hendrix lived on the 23 Brook Street and Handel on the 25 of the same road
  • Simon Bolivar lived on the 4 Duke Street during the three months he spent in London
  • It’s been told that Ian Fleming came up with the name James Bond in the Marquis of Granby pub on Chandos Places
  • The Red Lion, on the Crown Passage near by the Pall Mall, has got the second oldest licence to sell beer in London and it’s been said that the last Saturday of every January gentlemen style s. XVII meet up there to honour Charles I
  • In Hammersmith, the Dove pub was one of the most visited by Graham Greene and Ernest Hemingway
  • In the City Barge pub on Strand-on-the-green were shot some scenes of the Beatles’ film Help!
  • The Flask on Highgate was Karl Marx’s favourite
  • The Spaniard’s Inn on Spaniards’ Road in Hampstead Heath is the oldest one in North London. Shelley, Keats and Byron used to have their pints there

Actually, Ian Fleming came up with the name James Bond when looking at his library in his mansion in Jamaica. James Bond was the writer of a book about butterflies.

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.

Any suggestions?
