Review by Library Journal Review

Long, a prolific writer on all things London, presents a fact-filled romp through many aspects of the city from gruesome and ghostly to military and parliamentary. Want to brush up on obscure knowledge of England's capital? Then this is the book you're looking for! Do you know what the white spike on London Bridge commemorates? Or which square in London is haunted by a chicken? Long provides answers to these questions and many others. He leaves no corner of London uncovered as he offers travelers insight into out-of-the-way destinations to fulfill any esoteric interest. Looking to visit an unusual museum? How about the London Sewing Machine Museum? Looking for a good pub? Long recommends 17 of them in "Britain's Best Pub Crawl." VERDICT Anglophiles and travelers alike will revel in the London oddities Long has uncovered in this fun-to-peruse book.-Lacy S. Wolfe, Ouachita Baptist Univ.
