Why spend money sitting in a cab listening to whingeing from your London cab driver, or having him fill your head with useless London trivia when you can sit in comfort and read it here for free?

In my opinion . . .

  1. The City is the Centre of its Commerce and Wealth. The Court of its Gallantry and Splendor. The Out-parts of its Numbers and Mechanicks; and in all these, no City in the World can equal it.

What I would read on the rank

The Water Room

By Christopher Fowler

Christopher Fowler, who has recently died, wrote a series of detective novels featuring the Met's Peculiar Crimes Unit, led by London's longest-serving detectives, Arthur Bryant and John May who with their wits, idiosyncratic practices and a plentiful supply of boiled sweets solve London's most perplexing crimes. I'm reading book two (of 18) The Water Room.

Details can be found by clicking the cover below
