Book excerpt: Discover facts, fiction, trivia and history of some of London’s boroughs that you may not have known before. All of this done whilst visiting some very interesting pubs and getting some exercise to boot! Why not read and discover about a reputed spy for Russia, who lived in a quiet suburb unbeknownst to her neighbours for decades after WWII? Or learn about Her Majesty the Queen’s beasts and what they mean? Find out about the Fighting Temeraire and the part it played in the Battle of Trafalgar. And finally, uncover the Great Fires of London, but not the one everyone talks about. A wealth of factoids which will astound your friends and family and could very well prepare you for some quiz nights!
