Overview

""Queer Things About London"" is an engaging exploration of the hidden corners, peculiar customs, and architectural oddities of the British capital. Written by the prolific travel writer and illustrator Charles G. Harper, this work delves into the lesser-known aspects of London that escape the notice of the casual observer. From strange street names and ancient traditions to eccentric characters and forgotten monuments, Harper provides a rich tapestry of urban lore. The book serves as a guide to the eccentricities of a city with a layered and complex history, capturing the charm of a London that was already rapidly changing in the early 20th century. Readers will find fascinating anecdotes about the City's old taverns, peculiar legal quirks, and the historical remnants that hide in plain sight among the bustle of modern life. Harper's keen eye for detail and his deep appreciation for English heritage make this a valuable resource for anyone interested in the social history and topography of London. It is a delightful journey through the whimsical and the obscure, celebrating the unique character of one of the world's greatest metropolises.
