The queen once spent a night in the royal train in a siding here.

We are part of a much larger city but people here like to pretend we’re not really a part of said city.

We have the largest, or one of the largest, urban parks in Europe.

Our MP considers himself above the riffraff (and went to court over some words).

Garrison town. Famous for UFOs. There are some lions just up the road.

You must be in Warminster

I can see said structure from my house 😀
I live near the highest market town in South Yorkshire
Top Gear filmed an episode there a few years ago and delighted in taking the mickey out of the name.
The secondary school there was founded more than 600 years ago and still has the same name.

@GinToBegin Lincoln! Funnily enough, someone was telling me this only a few weeks ago.

It is!… iirc, the tallest building in the world before the cathedral was one of the Egyptians pyramids which blows my mind a little bit.

We also have a pier but no sea or ocean.

It has a large building where Oscar Wilde stayed. Banksy has left his mark on the outside wall of the building.
The town gets very loud and busy on the Bank Holiday weekend in August and you can see on BBC what is happening here.
