OPINIONATED GUIDE TO HISTORIC LONDON (PB)

If your idea of historic London is an urban hike punctuated by monuments, or staring at mystifying artefacts in a museum while your thoughts drift to lunch, this opinionated guide is here to change your mind. Sheldon Goodman has assembled more than 50 of the best things to do and see to immerse yourself in the rich history of the capital, from mudlarking along the Thames to walking the hidden corridors above St Paul’s, shopping in London’s oldest cigar store to visiting the place where the grisly remains of traitors were displayed on spikes.
