Books, plays and booksellers
You can browse in bookshops from the Bible to the Booker Prize. We wrote this at the request of the London Book Fair.
You start in front of the National Gallery whose shop is stuffed with everything on art. Then it is a stroll through Covent Garden to the Opera House that sells piles of publications and discs on music. If you want to see more than books then we guide you into the literary debauchery of Soho with its bars, clubs and restaurants.
This is a stroll for the confirmed hedonist – and book lover!
