About this book
An Unreliable Guide to London brings together 26 stories about the lesser known parts of a world renowned city. Stories that stretch the reader's definition of the truth, questioning reality and fiction simultaneously. Stories of wind nymphs in North Clapham tube station, the horse sized swan at Brentford Ait, Sleeping Clinics in NW3 and the celebrations for St Margaret's Day of the Dead. Taking its cue from travel guides, London histories and books like Tired of London, Tired of Life, An Unreliable Guide to London shakes up the canon of London writing with a tongue firmly rooted in its cheek. An Unreliable Guide to London is the perfect summer read for city dwellers up and down the country. With a list of contributors reflecting the multi-layered, complex social structures of the city, it is the essential guide to London, showing you everything you never knew existed.
