书籍简介

在这本指南中，你可以看到这个城市隐藏的秘密、不为人知的故事和充满历史的特殊地方，你可以自己去发现这些地方！伦敦以其博物馆而闻名，每一个博物馆都充满了宝藏和遗迹！

伦敦以其博物馆而闻名，每个博物馆都充满了珍宝和遗迹--但首都较大的博物馆是城市本身。从不寻常的街道名称背后的故事，到我们公园里的树木；从回收的二战担架制成的栏杆，到墙壁上的弹片损伤；从邮筒上隐藏的符号，到史前的树干--城市的街道、花园、公园和建筑中经常被忽略的细节，都隐藏着丰富的历史。

这本内容丰富、图文并茂的书提供了大量的历史特征和奇闻异事，让你在首都闲逛时发现。无论你是否一直想知道为什么在你上班的路上会有牛槽，为什么护柱经常看起来像倒立的大炮，或者想知道维多利亚时代的臭管是什么--本书将提供破译伦敦秘密密码的工具，并向你介绍一个可以探索的隐藏景点宝库。

本书附有地图，因此你可以在穿越首都的步行中发现这些细节。

所以，穿上一双结实的鞋子，准备好把这座城市变成你从来不知道的博物馆。

See London in a completely new light in this guide to the city's hidden secrets, untold stories and special places laden with history which you can discover for yourself!

London is famous for its museums, each one full of treasures and relics - but the biggest museum in the capital is the city itself. From the stories behind unusual street names, to the trees in our parks; railings made from recycled WWII stretchers, to shrapnel damage on walls; the hidden symbols on post boxes, to prehistoric tree trunks - there is a rich history hidden in the oft-overlooked details of the city's streets, gardens, parks and buildings.

This richly detailed and beautifully illustrated book provides a miscellany of historic features and curiosities to spot as you wander around the capital. Whether you've always wondered why there are cattle troughs on your route to work, why bollards often look like upside down cannons or wanted to know what a Victorian stink pipe is - this book will provide the tools to decipher London's secret code, and introduce you to a treasure trove of hidden spots to explore.

The book comes complete with maps so you can spot these details yourself on walks through the capital.

So, pop on a sturdy pair of shoes and get ready to turn the city into the museum you never knew you had.
