Full of entertaining bite-size chunks of London's history, this book tells tales that will inspire you to explore a place you thought you knew. In this historical handbook, author, journalist and London guide Terence Jenkins hopes that the tales of England's capital city will inspire readers to explore this unique part of our country. It is a place rich in history and known for its extensive culture. Following the success of Another Man's London, he gives us an idiosyncratic look in bite-sized chunks of London's exciting history that are fascinating and easy to read. Amongst other characters you will meet Bulbous Betty and the Black Prince who had a surprising effect on the course of London's history. Discover why 100 shrouds were requested and what really happened to that polar bear in Piccadilly... Find out who was exiled in SE19, and what was all the fuss about a fig leaf? The book was written to follow Jenkins' trilogy of London books, Another Man's London, London Lives and London Tales, and also as a return to the city following his explorative book Further Afield. Not just an entertaining read but also an educational pocket guide, Return to London covers some of the unique facts about London's history that have largely remained unknown.
