| وصف الكتاب | If you think that London is the greatest city in the world but could do with some evidence to back you up, this is the book you need. Within these pages are hundreds of facts, figures, stories, quotes, jokes and extraordinary anecdotes about London from its earliest times, right up to the present day.Whose head fell off London Bridge into his daughter’s lap?How do you make Big Ben gain two-fifths of a second?Who sold Buckingham Palace to an American tourist?Which London citizens are allowed to herd a flock of sheep over London Bridge?Why did John Etherington’s top hat get him arrested in Mayfair in 1797?Which Londoner embalmed his wife and displayed her in a glass cabinet in his front room?What does Tony Blair mean in Cockney rhyming slang?And how many policemen can you fit in Nelson’s Column?
