The London Encycolpedia by Ben Weinreb, Christopher Hibbert, Julia Keay and John Keay |
I haven't actually read this book through. At over 1,000 pages of dense, small typeface I would be surprising if very many have, but if you are fascinated by the places, history and organisations of London (and have a strong enough bookshelf) this just might become the cornerstone of your collection. Comprehensive but concise, the entries are enough to answer any immediate query but also to point you in the direction of further research. Perfect!
