Hidden London - Discover Over 100 of the City's Hidden Attractions (Paperback, 2nd New edition)

London has a fascinating and turbulent 2,000-year history, during which it has been burnt down several times, rebuilt, bombed in two world wars and rebuilt again. Despite, the ravages of time and conflicts (and developers!), the city has enough world-famous attractions to keep the average visitor or resident occupied for a month of Sundays. These are more than adequately covered in a wealth of standard guide books; what Hidden London does is take you off the beaten path - side-stepping the city's tourist clogged major sights - to seek out its more unusual charms and esoteric, mysterious side. Like our sister titles, London's Hidden Secrets and London's Secret Places, Hidden London contains a wealth of fascinating attractions - 110 in total - in all corners of the city and its environs, many of which are relatively unknown except to a small group of locals and insiders. Inside you'll discover a wealth of historic churches and other ancient buildings; 'secret' parks and gardens and long 'lost' cemeteries; fascinating small museums and galleries; atmospheric pubs and stunning hotels; cutting-edge art and design, and much more. Hidden London isn't intended as a walking guide, although many of the places covered are close to one another in central London - notably in the hubs of Westminster and the City - where you can easily stroll between them, while some are out in the suburbs. However, most are close to public transport links and relatively easy to get to. What's more the vast majority are free, so there's no excuse for not getting out there and exploring. With a copy of Hidden London to hand to inspire you, you need never be bored in London. We hope you enjoy discovering the city's hidden treasures as much as we did.
