Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Take a walk on Londonâs weirder side with an absorbing collection of curious tales from one of the worldâs greatest cities. This book is packed with amazing things you didnât know about Britainâs capital, like the fact that itâs 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.
