The Book Of Lists - London by Nick Rennison
This book joins the pantheon of London 'facts' and curiosities. If you enjoy Schott's Miscellanies you will recognise a similar delight in discovering obscure trivia and startling facts. It's a wonderful book to dip into, but the clear layout and excellent index also make this a very useful work of reference.
