Book Description

5 Jan 2012

As the late great Samuel Johnson sagely observed, 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.' When author Tom Jones found himself doing the same things week in, week out while living in England's treasured capital, he decided to heed Johnson's words and seek out a thing to do each day in London to make him fall back in love with the city.

Here, in Tired of London, Tired of Life, Tom shares the fun, diverting and imaginative things that you can do to keep yourself amused in London. With seasonally appropriate suggestions for each day of the year, you can explore East London by canoe, search for Fagin's lair in Clerkenwell, play petanque in Southwark, seek out Aphrodite in the British Museum on Valentine's Day and enjoy a host of unusual ways to enjoy the capital. So grab your A-Z and start discovering a whole other side to this majestic city.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiration for an unplanned weekend 21 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover
I've had this book for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it's been a delight. Originally buying it to put alongside the other rarely used London guidebooks on the shelf this has been one that I'm actively coming back to time and time again.

Whether you've got a spare five minutes and you fancy learning a bit of London history, or you've been so busy all week that you've got nothing organised and just want to get out and try something new then this book has what you need.

It's well written, the designs complement it perfectly and there's a lot to learn that you won't see in a regular guidebook. Well done to the author for what must have been quite an arduous exploration of the city, check out the back stories on the books website for quite how much effort has gone into this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Less than the website 15 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
Having come across the authors website via random google searching I have been captivated by his suggestions and followed in his footsteps on a number of accasions with great pleasure. I mostly bought this book to support his efforts and to thank him. I was disappointed though that there were very few photographs as it was the daily photographs that so often caught my fancy. Not clear in the blurb about the book that it was less than the website. In a book of a years worth of ideas I would also have liked to have seen a map to help make decisions about what to see when I am in a particular part of London. So nice book but not as good as I thought it woudl be, or it easily could have been.
