In April 2023 I published my first book! It is called London: A Guide For Curious Wanderers. It is available at Waterstones, Amazon, various independent booksellers and many more places, including around the world!
I was delighted also when the book became a Sunday Times Bestseller! Scroll down to find out more…
It is my guide to London’s often overlooked little details, quirks and oddities. From bollards that are actually upended cannon and evidence of London’s lost rivers, to the stories behind some of the city’s best street names and what a ‘snob’ screen is, it is a miscellany of London and how to read the city’s streets.
As you can see, it is beautifully illustrated by the brilliant Katharine Fraser and includes four self-guided maps to help you explore the city for yourself.
It is the perfect gift/treat for Londoners or someone visiting the city who wants to get to grips with the history hiding in plain sight.
