Royal London : A Guide to the Captial's Historic and Iconic Royal Sites Paperback / softback

"Royal London" celebrates the defining influence of British Kings and Queens on the cultural, social and architectural landscape of London over the last two millennia, featuring grand, world-famous sites of royal importance, such as Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London, alongside lesser-known areas or monuments.

Blending charted history with little-known stories and anecdotes, "Royal London" offers a deeper insight into the colourful regal characters and the legacies they left behind, lending renewed interest to obvious places of royal significance and awakening interest in forgotten monuments to the monarchy.

Divided by area and with a locator map of London at the front of the book, "Royal London" reveals the fascinating history and stories behind over 130 buildings, parks, gardens, statues and other objects in London that are associated with royalty, fully illustrated with specially commissioned photography.

This fully-updated edition in a handy new format is a timely addition to the New Holland London range, launching before the Queen's jubilee in 2012, and containing new features on William and Kate's wedding as well as brand new profiles on each of the royals.
