London: In the Footsteps of the Famous (Bradt Travel Guides) [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

London is among the most exciting historic cities in the world. Nicolas Best brings the capital to life through a series of circular walks in the footsteps of characters from history. William the Conqueror, Charles I, Anne Boleyn, Nelson and Jack the Ripper are just some of the colourful characters whose paths are charted. Each walk approaches the streets of London from the angle of "X marks the spot" so that the reader can stand exactly where history was made. It is produced in co-operation with English Heritage.

Tread where the famous - and the infamous - have trod. Visit the streets and houses that bore witness to the dramatic, intriguing and tragic moments of London's colorful history. Accompany us on a series of walks, with details of pubs and restaurants along the way, to the scenes of excruciating executions, exceptional exploits and sexual excesses - to places, in short, where 'X' definitely marks the spot!
