London Pocket Precincts

London is one of the world’s grandest cities, retaining many of those English traditions that are as steeped in the culture – just like a good pot of tea. But at the same time, the city is an ever-evolving and multicultural melting pot where you'll find cutting-edge art and bohemian fashions. From hip Bermondsey with its markets and wine bars, to affluent Knightsbridge’s grand department stores, this book covers must-see attractions and also encourages you to wander off the main streets to find places that fly under the radar.

London Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city’s best cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences. As well as detailed reviews and maps for major attractions through to hidden gems, this guide includes a selection of field trips encouraging you to venture further afield to Greenwich, Bath, Henley and Brighton.
 
Slip this guide into your pocket and head off on an adventure, experiencing the hippest places in London and surrounds, like a local.
