En Londres han preparado esta guía de la ciudad a través de sus escritores para la celebración del "Get London Reading", una campaña de un mes para promover la lectura en dicha ciudad. London by the Book está estructurada como una guía de viajes pero en la que se relaciona cada zona o monumento con escritores de la ciudad.
Contiene muchas curiosidades. Ahí va un ejemplo:
On September 22, 1598, the playwright Ben Jonson killed a fellow-actor Gabriel Spenser in a duel on Hogsden Fields -the present-day Eagle Wharf Road, in Hoxton. In Newgate Prison, he escaped hanging only because of a hasty conversion to Roman Catholicism and his ability to read the Bible in Latin, which allowed him to be released on "benefit of clergy". With an "M" for murderer branded on his left thumb, he wrote Every Man Out of his Humor (1599) and, in due course, such classics as Volpone (1606) and The Alchemist (1610).
