Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ______________________________ The huge word-of-mouth bestseller – completely updated for 2019 THE LONDON THAT TOURISTS DON’T SEE Look beyond Big Ben and past the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, and you will find another London. This is the land of long-forgotten tube stations, burnt-out mansions and gently decaying factories. Welcome to DERELICT LONDON: a realm whose secrets are all around us, visible to anyone who cares to look . . . Paul Talling – our best-loved investigator of London’s underbelly – has spent over fifteen years uncovering the stories of this hidden world. Now, he brings together 100 of his favourite abandoned places from across the capital: many of them more magnificent, more beautiful and more evocative than you can imagine. Covering everything from the overgrown stands of Leyton Stadium to the windswept alleys of the Aylesbury Estate, DERELICT LONDON reveals a side of the city you never knew existed. It will change the way you see London. ______________________________ PRAISE FOR THE DERELICT LONDON PROJECT ‘Fascinating images showing some of London’s eeriest derelict sites show another side to the busy, built-up capital.’ Daily Mail ‘Talling has managed to show another side to the capital, one of abandoned buildings that somehow retain a sense of beauty.’ Metro ‘Excellent . . . As much as it is an inadvertent vision of how London might look after a catastrophe, DERELICT LONDON is valuable as a document of the one going on right in front of us.’ New Statesman ‘From the iconic empty shell of Battersea Power Station to the buried ‘ghost’ stations of the London Underground, the city is peppered with decaying buildings. Paul Talling knows these places better than anyone in the capital.’ Daily Express ‘[London has an] unusual (and deplorable) number of abandoned buildings. Paul Talling’s surprise bestseller, DERELICT LONDON, is their shabby Pevsner.’ Daily Telegraph ______________________________

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pocket-sized edition of the best-selling Great Pubs of London, this book celebrates London's most significant and historic pubs. For centuries, the pub has been an essential part of London's cultural and social fabric. This book takes readers through the doors of 25 historically and architecturally significant London pubs. Through photographs specially commissioned for this project, readers can explore these institutions--from snob screens to 400-hundred-year-old flagstone floors. Engaging texts highlight what makes each pub so special, their place in London's history, the personalities who have frequented them, the events that occurred inside, and the ways pubs have contributed phrases such as "on the wagon" and "one for the road" to the modern lexicon. This book reveals why the Lamb and Flag in Covent Garden earned the nickname the "Bucket of Blood," and features a pub that Charles Dickens described as a "great rambling queer old place". Furthermore, the book muses over the chances that Casanova paid a visit to The Dog and Duck in Soho, and uncovers the location of Charles De Gaulle's favorite wartime watering hole. This fascinating book is a must-have for anyone with a love for these London institutions and its new, easy-to-carry format makes it perfect for taking on a historic pub crawl.

Download or read book Around the Tube in 80 Pubs written by Mike Gerrard and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the Tube in 80 Pubs brings you 80 of the best pubs in London, all of them within a 10-minute walk of a tube station. Aimed at visitors and residents alike, the book covers some of the city's most historic pubs as well as some of the best of the newer arrivals, such as the Brewdog chain and the excellent pubs that have been opening at the mainline train stations. There's also a range of pubs chosen for their riverside or canalside locations, meaning you'll be relaxing with a drink by the water within ten minutes of leaving the tube. For overseas visitors not familiar with the tube, the book explains how to use it, how to buy your tickets and how to get to the station you want. For each recommended pub, the book even tells you which exit to take from the tube, gives you step-by-step directions, and provides a map for each and every pub listed. Contents Arranging the pubs alphabetically by tube station, with recommendations for 53 of the stations on the tube network, there are cross-references and hyperlinks to all the tube stations and pubs right on the Table of Contents. Each entry has a map and a photo, as well as practical information on opening hours, when food is served, phone, address and website. There are also step-by-step directions on how to find each pub when you exit the tube station, and what you'll see on the way. For each pub the book also provides local information, such as which major tourist attractions are nearby, but also some offbeat information about the area, the streets, the buildings or people associated with the area. Finally there's a full description of each pub, so you know whether it has outside seating, upstairs rooms, quiet corners that aren't immediately obvious, and what beers you might expect to find there. Around the Tube in 80 Pubs The authors visited all 80 of the pubs - and more which didn't make the final list. Every pub has been visited at least twice, and some several times. The pubs were visited anonymously and all drinks were paid for. The pubs were rated for their atmosphere, the quality of their beer, the friendliness of the staff, and basically whether we would be happy to take friends or visitors to London to have a drink there. They also, of course, had to be within a 10-minute walk of a tube station. The Authors Pete Gerrard went to London to study for a degree in astronomy at University College London, and in the finest student tradition perfected a 9-pub crawl through some of the city's finest pubs. He's been extending his London pub crawl ever since. Two of those original nine (The Lamb and The Princess Louise) are in this book. Mike Gerrard is an award-winning travel and drinks writer, and a member of the British Guild of Beer Writers. He lived in London for 15 years, and has written about beer for magazines and websites including Beer Advocate, Perceptive Travel, The Huffington Post and the US drinks magazine Chilled, where he is an Editorial Staff Writer.
Download or read book Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell written by Keith Waterhouse and published by Samuel French Limited. This book was released on 1991 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gambler, journalist, fervent alcoholic and four-times married Jeffrey Bernard writes the "Low Life" column for the Spectator magazine chronicling Soho life as well as offering a very personal philosophy on vodka, women and race-courses. From this, Keith Waterhouse has brilliantly constructed a play (the title being the euphemism used by the Spectator when Bernard is incapable of writing his column) which is set in the saloon bar of Bernard's favourite Soho pub, the Coach and Horses. Having passed out in the lavatory, Bernard awakes in the early hours of the morning to find himself alone and in the dark. Unable to contact the landlord, he is resigned to spending the rest of the night with a bottle of vodka and an endless chain of cigarettes, narrating a story of hilarious anecdotes and witty reminiscences which are enacted by two actors and two actresses who bring to life the various characters who populate Jeff 's world. Starring Peter O'Toole, later succeeded by Tom Conti then James Bolam, the play enjoyed a hugely successful run at the Apollo Theatre, London.
