“Pretty much the coolest book about the coolest city in the world”
Goodreads
“From Chelsea to Camden, Hammersmith to Hackney, this area-by-area collection of urban facts and compelling stats takes lovers of London on a unique tour of the “capital of cool.” In addition to getting fun quotes and notes, inquiring minds will find the answers to these pressing questions: What piece of classical music are the chimes of Big Ben based on? Which is the bestselling chocolate bar from machines on the Underground? Where did John Logie Baird first demonstrate how television works? What tragic events led to the Olympics being held in London in 1908 and 1948?”
Published in 2006 I think and probably long out of print. This was a chance for me and my fellow Londonists to show off our combined trivia and also make a few facts up here and there. Not a conventional guidebook so probably not horrifically out of date if you manage to find a second hand copy.
