The Usborne Book of London

London, the capital of Great Britain, developed over nearly 2,000 years and many of its streets and buildings have amazing stories and events connected with them. This book is packed with fascinating information about the people and places, theatres, museums, traditions and festivals, and the shopping and transport in London. It is colorfully illustrated with photographs, aerial views and spectacular cutaway illustrations showing famous buildings as they have never been seen before. There is also a sightseeing map of central London and a section of up-to-date practical information, including addresses, opening hours and nearest tube station for all the main sights, and many less well known ones too.
