[Anete Strazda · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect guide for those, who are in love in London, but are tired of all the most popular must-see and must-do things here. Lovely written stories about not so popular London places, people and events. Loved every page of it and looking forward to keep exploring my so beloved city.

Had a few London trips planned this year and this book is great for slightly more obscure places to see or visit between the usual trip to tourist highlights. As a born London Guy I love this book and I’ve learned so much history about the city I love
