John Hillaby's London - Hardcover
The small streets of large cities are as ripe for exploration as the roads to Samarkand or Samarra in the view of the author of this book. Here is no guidebook material - no changing of the guard or the view from the Tower Bridge - but vivid descriptions of Londoners in cab drivers' shelters, in Annie's Bar at the House of Commons, in Soho at two in the morning, among the down-and-outs sleeping on the embankment and other places overlooked by London's perambulators. With his pocket tape recorder he recorded his discoveries and observations about its buildings, people, flora and fauna in prose worthy of a poet. The author has written many travel books, including "Journey Through Britain", "Journey to the Jade Sea", "Journey Through Love" and "Journey Home".
