Title: More London's strangest tales
Description: In this follow-up to his bestselling London's Strangest Tales, Tom Quinn delves even deeper into the endlessly fascinating and sometimes bizarre history of one of the world's great capitals. More London's Strangest Tales explains why Napoleon's nose is built into the structure of Admiralty Arch, why the schoolboys at Westminster play football with a real pancake and why at least one English king enjoyed dressing up in women's clothes. More London's Strangest Tales also explains why each new Bishop of Southwark must play leapfrog at least once in the grounds of Southwark Cathedral, why the masters of the Fishmongers' Company still beat the waters of the Thames each year and why Winston Churchill once had himself lowered in a bucket into a London sewer.
