London’s Secret History
Peter Bushell

The author has taken the metropolis area by area and treats us to some of the hilarious, bizarre and macabre events which have taken place there: the king’s mistress who sprinkled the new queen’s honeymoon breakfast with Epsom salts; the marquis who liked his kippers boiled in gin; the lady who awoke to find her sleepwalking butler had laid the table for fourteen on her bed, and more.
