New editions, bringing that work to date, will, I hope, continue to appear. More Wanderings in London contains certain matter of interest omitted from the earlier book, such as descriptions of some minor museums, or touched there too lightly, and extends the range to Hampton Court. It also gives complete lists of the open-air statues of London and of those houses that are marked with tablets. Mr. Livens would have made, among other pic tures not here, a drawing of the new Admiralty Arch, had not this been forbidden, during war time, by the authorities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures in London The Morning Leader died and my Adventures in London would have perished with it if Sir Arthur Spurgeon had not persuaded me to dig it out of its grave so that Messrs. Cassell Co. Might give it a new lease of life in a noble volume with a frontispiece which is now a ghost of a ghost, for it is a photograph of myself as a young Victorian with a Victorian moustache. The book has been out of print for many years and is so hard to come by that it is vainly sought after by collectors. Its second exhumation is due in the first place to the enthusiasm of my friend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out and About London IT was a lucid, rain-washed morning - one of those rare mornings when London seems to laugh before you, disclosing her random beauties. In every park the trees were hung with adolescent tresses, green and white and yellow, and the sky was busy with scudding clouds. Even the solemn bricks had caught something of the sudden colour of the day, and London seemed to toss in its long, winter sleep and to take the heavy breaths of the awakening sluggard.

Download or read book Vanishing Streets written by J. M. Tyree and published by Redwood Press. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanishing Streets reveals an American writer's twenty-year love affair with London. Beguiling and idiosyncratic, obsessive and wry, it offers an illustrated travelogue of the peripheries, retracing some of London's most curious locations. As J. M. Tyree wanders deliriously in "the world's most visited city," he rediscovers and reinvents places that have changed drastically since he was a student at Cambridge in the 1990s. Tyree stumbles into the ghosts of Alfred Hitchcock, Graham Greene, and the pioneers of the British Free Cinema Movement. He offers a new way of seeing familiar landmarks through the lens of film history, and reveals strange nooks and tiny oddities in out-of-the-way places, from a lost film by John Ford supposedly shot in Wapping to the beehives hidden in Tower Hamlets Cemetery, an area haunted by a translation error in W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz. This book blends deeply personal writing with a foreigner's observations on a world capital experiencing an unsettling moment of transition. Vanishing Streets builds into an astonishing and innovative multi-layered project combining autobiography, movie madness, and postcard-like annotations on the magical properties of a great city. Tyree argues passionately for London as a cinematic dream city of perpetual fascinations and eccentricities, bridging the past and the present as well as the real and the imaginary.

This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of London Life, or Phases, Physiological and Social, of the Great Metropolis In something resembling at least a literary garb. It is true there was no other necessity for this than the necessity, perhaps, of my, own vanity or capricious fancy - but which was so far imperative, that had I not written in this way, I should not have written at all. The reader may, however, rely upon the truth of the details he will here peruse. The only fictions are those harmless and transparent ones in which the writer has chosen sometimes, for obvious reasons, to involve both himself and some designations of persons and places which it would not have been prudent to call by their real names. The several characters on his canvas are all studies from the life, and the back-grounds in which they figure may be verified at any hour by the dweller in London. In some few cases, where per sonal narratives are given, they are in substance the actual experience of the personages to whom they are attributed - with the exception of one or two, the living prototypes of which only supplied a general outline, which it was left to imagination to fill up.

The grim joke is directed against those who are un able to take holiday out of town at this time of year, and, so keenly is the jest felt, that many families and individuals pretend to be away while they are still at home. Of the remaining community there are, of course, vast numbers who would gladly leave London for the furthermost ends Of the earth, had they the means and oppor tunity. But there are also vast numbers with both means and opportunity who have no desire to go beyond the bounds of the metropolis. With them London is itself a holiday which never satiates. They look upon London as the best place in summer, and the only place in winter. From choice they remain here all the year round. These are the genuine Cockneys.
