London Sport Subforums: Fives Court • Jackson's Saloon • Westminster Pit • Tattersall's

Other Locations
There are plenty of other interesting locations in Regency London, including the busy streets and alleyways, inns and taverns, and hotels. The offices of legal attorneys and doctors can also be found if one looks hard enough.

Letters & Notes
Letter and note writing is an important part of Regency life despite its cost (two pence for delivery within London increasing to a shilling or more for longer distances). Calling card deliveries should also be recorded in this forum.
