This unique guide to London includes TWO FREE CITY WALKS and 500 worthwhile places to eat, drink, sleep, shop and discover.
  • Where are the 5 best places to find street food?
  • What are the 5 most innovative theatres?
  • What are the 5 must-visit shops for vintage clothing?
  • What are the 5 best places for a fun night out?
  • What are the 5 most unusual places to sleep?

The 500 Hidden Secrets of London reveals these good-to-know addresses and many more. It is an affectionate guide to the city, written by London explorer Tom Greig. He has selected places and details that few people know, such as the bakery on Brick Lane that's open 24-hours and that's famous for its salt-beef bagels, a former department store that is now a vintage and antiques market, an award-winning theatre in Hackney Wick that seats just 110 and has a corrugated iron roof, or the historic street where Huguenot settlers first lived and is now a home to famous artists.

This is a book for visitors who want to avoid the usual tourist spots and for residents who are keen to track down the city's best-kept secrets. 500 addresses and facts in total, presented in original lists of 5. Maps & index included. For the 2025 update, author Tom Greig has created 2 unique city walks which can be downloaded for free using the QR code in the book. 

If you select the ebook (PDF format) or bundle (book + PDF ebook), your download will be available as soon as the payment process is complete. Visit our ebook FAQ page for more information.
