This fascinating 1951 reprint from The Evening News is a wonderful collection of London’s most bizarre and "strange but true" facts. Illustrated by the renowned London historian Peter Jackson, it was originally released as a souvenir for the Festival of Britain.
​Inside, you’ll find beautifully drawn strips detailing everything from hidden memorials to the city's oddest traditions. It even includes the original "Location Map A" to help you find these curiosities in the real world. The back cover features a great vintage advertisement for Lyons "Quoffy" coffee, adding to its mid-century charm.
