The coffee here is very nice. That sounds like a given what with it being a coffee shop but it should not be taken for granted. Â£7 something for 2x large coffees and a large chocolate tiffin is pretty good value. The view isn't great at the moment because of all the building work and you can't see the water...
India attained Independence on August 15th 1947, after a great political and social struggle. The British had ruled over India for a considerable period of time. Their initial intentions were to carry out trade in India, but in due course of time they developed political and administrative ambitions.
In February of 1947, the British government announced that India would be granted independence by June 1948. Viceroy for India Lord Louis Mountbatten pleaded with the Hindu and Muslim leadership to agree to form a united country, but they could not.Only Gandhi supported Mountbatten's position.he Partition of India was the process of dividing the subcontinent along sectarian lines, which took place in 1947 as India gained its independence from the British Raj.
