Product Description

Everyone knows about the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral and the London Tower, but "Eccentric London" focuses on the capital's less conventional history.This heavily illustrated book takes the reader around the capital district by district, stopping at a range of unusual locations including the hatters Lock & Co., patronized by Napoleon and little changed since the early 18th century; Highgate Cemetery, with chains leading up through gravestones to tiny bells as an insurance policy should someone be buried alive; and Britain's smallest prison in Trafalgar Square."Eccentric London" is an exploration of the hallmarks of London's long and chequered history, illustrated by Ricky Leaver's unique photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guide to London, 5 Sep 2009

By	Mr. D. Benn "milarepa_dave" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful book that reads almost like a pub crawl around the strange world that is the lesser known byways of the capital. {Eccentric London} is a lesser known gem of hidden endeavours of London's more imaginative creations and traditions; some are obscure in the historic source of traditions.
Here is a guide for exploration around the city and environs written with a tongue in cheek humour that comes from another world and far cry from the traditional tourist guide. Read it then reflect on this strange world of off the world London. You may enjoy this book and would make a great present for any Londoner who thinks that he knows well the city that he loves.
