London Quizzes & Trivia

When it comes to history there are few cities in the world that come anywhere near close matching London. Whether it’s theater in the West End, the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, the wealth of historic buildings or its legendary sporting venues, London has it all.

It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to asking you questions. Can you tell us which sport you’d be watching if you supported the Hammers? In which year was the World Cup Final held at Wembley Stadium? When was Buckingham Palace built?

Who was responsible for the designing of Westminster Abbey and who’s that politician with the terrible hair who is the Mayor of London? We’re sure you will love taking our quizzes about the city of London. So if you know your Marble Arch from your Strand, can work out which underground line you need to get to Wood Green or follow one of the many sporting teams in the city, it’s time to test your knowledge.
