Book description
As the late great Samuel Johnson sagely observed, 'When a man is
tired of London, he is tired of life.' When author Tom Jones found
himself doing the same things week in, week out while living in
England's treasured capital, he decided to heed Johnson's words and
seek out a thing to do each day in London to make him fall back in
love with the city.
Here, in Tired of London, Tired of Life, Tom shares the fun,
diverting and imaginative things that you can do to keep yourself
amused in London. With seasonally appropriate suggestions for each day
of the year, you can explore East London by canoe, search for Fagin's
lair in Clerkenwell, play petanque in Southwark, seek out Aphrodite in
the British Museum on Valentine's Day and enjoy a host of unusual ways
to enjoy the capital. So grab your A-Z and start discovering a whole
other side to this majestic city.
Tom Jones is a writer and researcher who lives in South East London.
He is happiest when discovering new things to do and believes it is
important to make the most of where you live. Born in the South
Cotswolds, before creating
Tired of London, Tired of Life
, he worked as a researcher at the House of Commons, as a white van man
and in the Armed Forces Medal Office.
