Nooks and Corners of Old London

A guide for walking London's older quarters, arranged so a wanderer can visit sites in consecutive order, offers close-up descriptions of churches, guildhalls, burial grounds, inns, alleys and architectural curiosities. It combines anecdote, local lore and historical notes to illuminate features such as parish churches and monuments, famous tombs and former theatrical and commercial sites, and traces of Roman and medieval infrastructure. Short chapters focus on compact districts and routes from the City toward the Strand, Covent Garden and Soho, pairing practical wayfinding with evocative sketches of vanished streetscapes and notable literary and religious associations.
