Over 1,300 entries (from Westminster to Woodridings - even the locals haven't heard of it) cover the breadth of this multifaceted capital city. Packed with historical detail and quirky facts and anecdote, Chambers London Gazetteer gives a panorama of London. This book: explores the hidden side of London, from city centre to outlying suburb; gives information on the origin of place names, famous former residents, local landmarks; is illustrated with hundreds of colour photographs, includes Greater London map and London Connections transport map; and suggests further reading and useful websites.
