London's Strangest Tales takes a walk on London's weirder side with
an absorbing collection of curious tales from one of the world's
greatest cities. This fascinating book is packed with amazing
things you didn't know about Britain's capital, like the fact that
it's still forbidden to run, carry an umbrella or whistle in the
Burlington Arcade, and the fat lamppost at the corner of Trafalgar
Square that is secretly a tiny prison cell. And did you know that
the entrance to Buckingham Palace you see from the Mall is actually
the back door and not the front? The stories within these pages are
bizarre, fascinating, hilarious and, most importantly, true. This
brand new edition, redesigned in splendid hardback for 2018, is a
brilliant alternative guide to the city, whether you're a visitor,
a daily commuter or one of its 8 million inhabitants. Word count:
