London is a city with an abundance of bizarre and curious places and stories, being ancient, vast and in a constant state of regeneration. London's Secrets: Bizarre & Curious includes some of the city's most unusual buildings, striking public artworks, outrageous museum and gallery exhibits, hauntings (including by animals), legends and much more.
London is a great city for walking, whether for pleasure, exercise or simply to get from A to B. Despite the city's extensive transport system, walking is also often the quickest way to get around − at least in the centre − and it's also free and healthy! London has grown organically over 2,000 years rather than being planned logically like some modern cities (such as New York). As a result many attractions are off the beaten track, away from the major thoroughfares and public transport hubs. This favours waking as the best way to explore the city, which contains a wealth of interesting sights in every 'nook and cranny'.
