London By Tube

Did you know that..

From Stonebridge Park on the Bakerloo Line you can walk to the largest Hindu temple in Europe?

From Ealing Broadway on the Central Line you can walk to the oldest film studios in the world?

From Stratford on the Central Line you can walk to, and abseil down, Britain's tallest sculpture?

London is a city of surprises and variety, over 600 square miles packed full of character. And to really know London you must look beyond the obvious; there are broad vistas and quiet corners, iconic sights and grand boulevards, quaint villages, verdant parks, cobbled alleyways, museums, monuments, markets, theatres, and ancient churches.

This book unearths and explores a stupendous range of interesting places, some well known, some less well known, some almost unknown, all of within an easy walk of a Tube station. If you want a day out and you want to do something different then London is your town, the Tube is your means and London by Tube is your guide.

Reviews

Be Like Bill may just be the best Internet meme of all time

—— The Washington Post

Bill is far too polite to tell you straight out not to do something. Instead he leads by example. But the message is clear and often very funny

—— BBC Trending

Shrewd interpretations of the Bard; funny footnotes too

—— Hugh Bonneville

Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare ... hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life.

—— Reality's a Bore

Hilarious. I laughed so hard I had to leave the meeting I was in.

—— Jake Knapp, New York Times-bestselling author of SPRINT

Sarah Cooper is uncannily spot on when describing the seemingly innocent behaviors of people attempting to impress others. It'll make you literally LOL.

—— Christine Tsai, Founding Partner, 500 STARTUPS

A hilarious, enlightening read for anyone who’s ever been stuck in a conference room. With delightful snark and sarcasm, Sarah cleverly skewers our coworkers for ridiculous behaviors that we would never, ever do. It’s funny because it’s true.

—— Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS and GIVE AND TAKE

Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare... hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life

—— Reality's a Bore

There is a lightness of touch and passages of thoughtful contemplation that befit the season. A perfect stocking filler.

—— Daily Express, Book of the Year

It’s the most unusual and surprising book and I haven’t been able to put it down.

—— Patti Clare , My Weekly
