About This Book

The author offers a series of leisurely walks and short essays exploring overlooked corners of London, pairing historical anecdotes with architectural and social detail. Each chapter turns attention to a neighborhood or institution—village greens recast amid urban growth, auction rooms and equestrian life at Tattersall's, the changing streets around Dover Street and Knightsbridge, and the quiet interiors of chapels and chapter houses—inviting readers to notice small survivals and local traditions. The tone is conversational and encouraging, aimed at curious residents and travelers who prefer chance discovery to formal sight-seeing, with illustrative sketches to accompany the narratives.
