With this idea in mind, this book infuses a variety of relevant information, including eye-caching photographs, that span practical knowledge across multi-length and multi-time scales, which include important details about great personalities and elegant places. Just imagine starting in the historical Westminster Abbey, then hopping lightning-fast to Metropolitan Tabernacle in the Elephant and Castle area, then (but of course!) Buckingham Palace, the British tea clipper ship Cutty Sark in Greenwich, the Royal Observatory Greenwich, King's College London, and so many other surprising and delightful destinations - more to read, more to love!This must-read book brings a rainbow of expert information, from the King Richard I of England (Coeur de Lion (the Lionheart)), to Roman chariot on Westminster Bridge, and to the acclaimed Italian painter Canaletto (who painted The River Thames with St. Paul's Cathedral on Lord Mayor's Day). The over 200 lovely and historic photos, from October 2016, and the information in this book will certainly enhance everybody's joie de vivre. There is also an Addendum for future generations.
