The other day I got an email advising me of the fact that
a couple of articles that I wrote for the excellent Londonist website have made it into print form
by way of a new book that they have out.
Well, naturally we had to buy the book. Londonist Mapped is now on display in
our lounge; a hardback with 96 pages, it’s a really cool book adorned with lots
of lovely and fantastically-detailed hand-drawn maps that accompany some of
Londonist’s best articles. On that particular subject, I’m pleased to say that
my article about how London’s
docks got their names has become ‘A Brief Guide to London’s Docks’ on page
16, accompanied by a map drawn by London-based artists Luke Agbainmoni, while a
couple of entries from my one about how
London’s castles and palaces got their names have made it into ‘Stately
Homes of Southwest London’ on page 64.
It really is a superb book for anyone interested in
London … but I say it who shouldn’t, of course!
