Middlesex- where so much British history has been acted out in its towns and palaces, where so many kings and queens have lived and died, and her many Saxon churches are a lasting testament to her past is indeed 'The Capital County'. Middlesex and London have always been inseparable. Some historical twists include Brown's Hotel in Dover Street. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt honeymooned here in 1905; King George II of Greece was in exile; and in Room 36 Holland declared war on Japan in World War II. Nearby to Wembley is the tiny hamlet of Preston that was the 1908 Olympic games clay pigeon shoot ground at Uxendon Farm.
