Synopsis

¡Participe en la reunión mensual de los bigotudos más extravagantes del país, recójase en el cementerio para perros de Hyde Park, asista a la misa de los payasos, vaya al circo en una antigua central eléctrica, rece en una iglesia flotante, haga vela en un antiguo embalse de agua, descubra la roca de donde Arturo retiró la espada de Excalibur, quédese de piedra ante el pene sagrado de un faraón, juegue en la última pista de bolos sobre césped de la City, admire un extraño enderezador de pepinos, una sirena disecada o el corazón de una vaca, descubra los bares y los restaurantes más insólitos!...

De día como de noche, Londres sólo desvela sus excentricidades y sus secretos a los habitantes y viajeros que saben salirse de los caminos marcados. Pero, es necesario saber dónde ir...Una guía indispensable para los que creían que conocían bien Londres o para los que desean descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad.

Where can you find monsters in Trafalgar Square? Whatever happened to Bedlam? Where can you praise God, buy meatballs and have a sauna? What's in the House of Dreams? To which secret society does Prince Charles belong? What's the trick to instant weight loss?

Secret London, an unusual guide is the original and still the best of all the many alternative London guides: accept no imitation. Authors Rachel Howard and Bill Nash have prowled the city streets, seeking out the hidden, eccentric and overlooked. Now the definitive insider's guide to London has been fully updated, with over 40 new entries and a brand new look.

Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, London still reserves any number of hidden treasures for those who know how to wander off the beaten track.
