Overview
First published in 1953, the year that saw thousands descend on London to watch the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, this is a lexicon of the city's curiosities, from the Achilles statue in Hyde Park 'erected by the women of England to honour (if not to resemble) the Duke of Wellington', to zebra crossings (relative newcomers to London in 1953).
