Extraordinary Guide: London: An Insider Tour of Ar

Go beyond the ordinary with this beautifully illustrated travelogue and guidebook to find the real London.

Explore the authentic side of London, with a richly photographed, intoxicating mix of history and the cosmopolitan present day. Perfect for an adventurous traveler --where The Rough Guide crowd meets the Wallpaper audience--this book is for anyone yearning to be inspired and excited by travel, and who is hungry for the less obvious.

The Extraordinary Guide: London will take you on a local's tour of this famously multicultural city. Beyond the iconic buildings, grand architecture, and famous museums, discover the village-like enclaves and quaint neighborhoods that make up many of the city's postcodes. From West London--where rainbow-colored terraces and pretty, Instagrammable mews rub shoulders with Portobello Road's vintage and antique markets--to East, where Shoreditch's thriving art scene of street murals, galleries, and studios form an ever-changing backdrop to the food stalls and pop-up cafes that are home to some of the best international cuisine in the world.

There is a chapter for each of the key neighborhoods along with maps, walking itineraries, and lists of the essential pit stops along the way. Whether you're planning a trip, have already been and want a keepsake to remember the city by, or are simply sitting at home longing to be somewhere else, this is the ideal book for you.
