London: In The Footsteps Of The Famous (The Bradt Travel Gde)

London is among the most exciting historic cities in the world. Nicolas Best brings the capital to life through a series of circular walks in the footsteps of characters from history. William the Conqueror, Charles I, Anne Boleyn, Nelson and Jack the Ripper are just some of the colourful characters whose paths are charted. Each walk approaches the streets of London from the angle of "X marks the spot" so that the reader can stand exactly where history was made. It is produced in co-operation with English Heritage. Author Biography: Nicholas Best is a full-time writer and reviewer whose publications have included titles on the kings and queens of England and Scotland. He has previously worked on the London Stock Exchange and as a financial journalist. He lives in Cambridge.
