Hidden Secrets: Nostalgic London

Nostalgic London invites you to immerse yourself in London’s incredible 2000-year-old history. Journey back in time by visiting and reading about the more than 350 off-the-beaten-track places and interesting details in this book, presented in lists such as:

Homes with star-studded histories

Vintage cafes and coffee shops

Age-old arcades

Brutalist beauties

... and much more.

Nostalgic London is one of the spin-off titles of The 500 Hidden Secrets series of essential city guides. This guide focusses on one particular aspect that defines the city: it's incredible history that is tangible in so many ways and places.

Author Ellie Walker-Arnott will help you to see London in a new light and to discover sites and details you never looked for before, like a family-run sandwich shop that's been around since the 1900s, a bingo hall set in a former cinema with Gothic arches, and a traditional pies & mash shop that turns into a lively cocktail bar at night.
