Well, dear friends, you are not greenhorns anymore. Of course, you still don’t master the charming Cockney accent, but are not a foreigner visitor in the happy city of London. And if happens that you read some English books in the pre Internet era, there were sure some books about London.
Westminster Abbey is a landmark of London
I think that no other mega city was so much sung and spelled like London! Oliver Twist, Sherlock Holmes, British Queens and Kings and much many others pale when comparing them to London. As London is for sure much better painted in all those books!
London for book lovers, this is the event I am proposing to you first! Use the guided tours, or simply take a map and try to discover the magic of London as it breaths in many notorious books. If you wanna get something from Charles Dickens‘ naturalism and discover the traces of Oliver Twist, visit the poor neighborhoods of London. Or walk along The Tower Bridge over the Thames to get a flair of “Our Mutual friend”, also a Dickens masterpiece.
