The Book Of Lists London
Nick Rennison
Inspired by the internationally bestselling Books Of ListsWhy did London Underground once employ a one-legged man to ride up and down the escalators at Earl’s Court tube station? What did Hitler plan to do with Nelson’s Column? Why is London’s only medieval mummy a prostitute named Clarice la Claterballock? How did a beer flood in Tottenham Court Road drown nine people? Where can you see a pair of Queen Victoria’s knickers?Containing chapters covering London past and present; buildings and streets; famous and unexpected Londoners; arts, literature and crime; plus much much more, the 180 lists will amaze, amuse and inform. More than simply a keepsake for tourists - every self-respecting Londoner needs this book ? If you do not want to live among wicked people, do not live in London. Richard of Devizes, 1192 (Benedictine monk and chronicler)
