These intriguing explorations of the historic (Tudor London/Fire of London/Florence Nightingale), literary (Coram Boy, Dickens, Shakespeare, 101 Dalmatians, Paddington Bear) and famous sights of the capital draw children in and keep them actively involved and enthralled.

For the parents, there is all the add-on information that families need, such as facilities, opening times, shops, food, transport, places for a sit-down, places for a run-around, I-spy lists, and other game ideas.

Highly creative in its content and design, the format tempts children and adults as well as London natives and tourists alike.

Packed with tantalizing facts and unusual places, the book draws on the urban culture as much as the countryside within the city, revealing secret facts, hidden places, and little explored treasures of London.
