London Peculiars (häftad, eng)

A peculiar can be defined as something that ''has eccentric or individual variations to the general or predicted pattern''. And, as it turns out, London is overflowing with them. This pocket-sized book will accompany you around the capital, guiding you from the tent-shaped tomb designed for Victorian explorer Sir Richard Burton by his widow, Isabel Arundel Gordon; to what may be the last surviving porter''s rest in London; to a stone niche by a long-demolished foundling hospital where almost 15, 000 infants were discarded over the course of the 18th century.

Sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic, often amusing and always unexpected, these so-called ''peculiars'' bring colour to the fabric of London. Whether you are a lifelong resident or a visitor passing through, London Peculiars is guaranteed to lead you on an adventure.Also in the series:Vinyl London ISBN 9781788840156Rock ''n'' Roll London ISBN 9781788840163Art London ISBN 9781788840385
