Description
London's Strangest Tales is a fascinating collection of curious stories from over a thousand years of London's history. From the bizarre to the hilarious, these tales reveal the city's hidden secrets and surprising facts.
Discover why it's still forbidden to run, carry an umbrella or whistle in the Burlington Arcade, and the surprising reason behind the fat lamppost at the corner of Trafalgar Square. You'll also learn that the entrance to Buckingham Palace you see from the Mall is actually the back door.
This revised and redesigned book is a brilliant alternative guide to the city, perfect for visitors, daily commuters and London's 8 million inhabitants. With over 45,000 words, it's packed with amazing things you didn't know about Britain's capital.
