Product Description
Looking at the eccentric people, places and events of the capital, this is a guide to exploring little-known London curiosities such as eccentric shopping, time-warp stores, speciality shops and off-beat street markets. It goes behind the scenes of famous addresses and offers tales from the graveyard, collectomanics and strange stores, as well as eccentric people from crackpot collectors to barmy characters from history.
Book Information

These are just a few of the colourful characters to be found in Eccentric London, the fascinating follow-up to Benedict le Vay's sell-out book, Eccentric Britain. Here the London-born author revisits his childhood stomping grounds and devises district-by-district guides to everything compelling, curious, bizarre, absurd or hilarious. Plus the oddest shops, museums, jobs, pubs and people you could possible imagine.
