London sets the stage for many fairy tales and inspired many writers throughout history. Peter Pan, written by Scottish novelist J.M. Barrie, wrote several stories about a boy named Peter. “The Little White Bird,” was the first mention of Peter and the middle chapters published as “Peter in the Kensington Garden.” In 1924, Paramount Pictures released a silent filmed called, “Peter Pan.” In the newest Disney versions, you can see Peter and Wendy fly past Big Ben and throughout the London streets.
