Synopsis

Step back in time to discover life in London during the reign of Queen Victoria with this handy time travel guidebook

Like modern travel guides, the books in this series highlight must-see features and explain local culture. Each highlighted destination contains an explanation of what took part in these areas, as well as a look at important artefacts found there providing a bigger picture of life in the past.
