Opis

Curiosities of London provides an informative and entertaining selection of walks around well-known and some less-visited parts of London, revealing the oddities, bizarre connections and strange stories from the past that echo through the city streets. The guide includes Bloomsbury with its literary connections and garden squares; the historic Borough; Whitechapel and Stepney in the East End; Clerkenwell and its associations with monastic orders, prisons and radicalism; parts of the historic and ancient City of London; the stylish Mayfair; Fleet Street, once synonymous with the printing industry, but also with its religious and legal connections; Smithfield, with its gruesome associations with executions, hauntings, plague and debauchery; Bankside, once the home to theatre, bear baiting and brothels; and the sedate area of Marylebone with its attractive streets and squares. This revised edition includes colour photographs, updated information to take into account the latest changes and developments in London's streets, and helpful maps to guide the reader on their journey through London. Curiosities of London is the indispensable guide for Londoners and visitors who want to walk, look, be educated and enthralled, and to learn something new about the Big Smoke.
