London is one of the world`s greatest cities. It`s iconic & dynamic; a vibrant city where the past & present meet in an explosion of art & culture. It`s also a city that is constantly on the move. From its earliest explorers, London has never been afraid to venture to new worlds & discover new & wonderful things. This hasn`t changed through the centuries. London continues to create & innovate with cutting edge ideas, especially in its food scene where you can literally taste the world from its diverse offerings, or even be transported to another world completely! Likewise with London`s libations. Pubs are the beating heart of London & there`s practically one on every corner (kind of like churches in Rome). But the beverages on offer would make any heart beat faster. & once you`re full of good food & wine, it`s time to hit the shops & enter another stratosphere altogether. Oliver Twist`s immortal question has never been more resonant, because you`ll definitely want to have more of London! This book features the best eating, drinking & shopping across 18 London precincts, including Covent Garden, King`s Cross, Soho & Piccadilly. Precinct maps make this a handy & useful guidebook, while the hardback cover creates a beautiful keepsake. London Precincts is the 6th book in Hardie Grant Travel`s Precinct series, which has been shortlisted for the 1010 Printing Best Designed Series (Including Classics) award in the 2016 Australian Book Design Awards. The winners will be announced on Friday 13 May in Melbourne. ...

By the end of the eighteenth century London was the second largest city in the world, its relentless growth fuelled by Britain`s expanding empire. Before the age of photography, the most widely used means of creating a visual record of the changing capital was through engravings & drawings, & those that survive today are invaluable in showing us what the capital was like in the century leading up to the Industrial Revolution. This book contains over one hundred images of the Greater London area before 1800 from maps, drawings, manuscripts, printed books & engravings, all from the Gough Collection at the Bodleian Library. Examples are drawn from the present Greater London to contrast town & countryside at the time. Panoramas of the river Thames were popular illustrations of the day, & the extraordinarily detailed engravings made by the Buck brothers are reproduced here. The construction, & destruction, of landmark bridges across the river are also shown in contemporary engravings. Prints made from London before & after the Great Fire show how artists & engravers responded to contemporary events such as executions, riots, fires & even the effects of a tornado. They also recorded public spectacles, creating beautiful images of firework displays & frost fairs on the river Thames. This book presents rare material from the most extensive collection on British topography assembled in this period by a private collector, providing a fascinating insight into life in Georgian London. ...

Who was ` Polly` & why did she draw customers to ` Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese` in Fleet Street? Who was Charlie Brown of the Railway Tavern in the West India Dock Road? This wide-ranging book traces the evolution of London`s drinking houses from the earliest times.
