WHY IS DOWNING STREET PAINTED BLACK (HB)

Have you ever tried to find a street named Bond Street? Did you know you can’t dine for 13 at the Savoy? At least not without a cat joining you … And have you heard about the bus that jumped Tower Bridge? As a walking tour guide for 15 years, Jonnie Fielding has made it his mission to uncover all there is to know about London, from forgotten facts to the history hiding in plain sight. Packed full of pub-quiz trivia and bespoke illustrations, Fieldin’s book includes 365 of his favourite quirks, anomalies and eccentricities from all over town.
