Leigh Hunt walks his reader through the old heart of London, from St Paul’s and its neighbourhood down Fleet Street and the Strand, past Lincoln’s Inn, Drury Lane and Covent Garden, to Charing Cross and Whitehall. At each turn he recalls the writers, actors, statesmen and scandals that belong to the place.
Affectionate, discursive and full of literary gossip, a companion for anyone who loves London’s past. Download the free EPUB.
