Product Description
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.
