Résumé
London Never Ends reveals the history hidden of London through the streets that connect its millions of lives. For over fifteen years, Jack Cornish has been attempting to walk every street, path and passage in London. From the Square Mile to the city's furthest edges, he has explored the capital on foot, to build an intimate portrait of a place that never stands still. Each chapter follows a different London walk that reveals a new aspect of the city, from how the city eats, drinks and keeps itself clean, to its relationship with animals, God, fashion and even football.
Cornish follows crowded pavements, secret alleyways and forgotten rivers to discover how Londoners play, work, and wander, while encountering the poets, pioneers, dreamers and rogues who have made the capital the greatest city on earth. Ranging from Roman Londinium through epic architectural and engineering feats to the modern metropolis, London Never Ends is both a personal walking odyssey and a new history of the city itself.
Blending travel writing, history and memoir, London Never Ends is a unique journey across 10, 000 miles of streets and through two thousand years of urban life that will change the way you look at London for ever.
