Noe, Barbara. (Author). Calian, Sara. (Added Author).

Summary: Just in time for the London Olympics, this entertaining, 8000-word e-short gives the inside scoop on what makes London the great city that it is. Twenty different topics are tackled in quick, entertaining bites, including the tradition of afternoon tea (and the best places to enjoy it); artists with a London fixation (Hogarth and Monet among them); royal parks (and the favorites among kings); and pubs from medieval to modern times (with a listing of the best). Evocative, entertaining text married with gorgeous images and nuts-and-bolts sidebars on authentic experiences reveals the best of this fabulous city.
