If you know anything about London, you would know what a fabulously old city it is - chock full of old and historical buildings. In fact every corner seems to hold some significance! This is where this book comes in for literary fans. Amazingly, you can still find the buildings that housed writers like Yeats, Agatha Christie and many many more. This then is a great guide to bring along with you on your next trip to this great city. It's conveniently arranged by area. To be honest, I wouldn't go out of the way to see some of these places, but if I passed any of them, they would have been worth a glance or a photograph at least.
I liked that there are lots of colour photographs of the venues and also intriguing snippets about the writers associated with the place.
Definitely a must-have for the London visitor who is also a die-hard fan of classic literature.

If you have never visited the London Underground this is the perfect book to know it and if you have already visited it it will help you to see it from another point of view. It is such a complete photographic tour of the "Tube" that it even includes a curious section of the singers of the Metro.
