The Bradt Travel Guides book called Eccentric London is authored by Benedict le Vay. Eccentric London is one of many Bradt Travel Guides book products. Here's my review of the Bradt Travel Guides book called Eccentric London.

The company's slogan is "...take the road less travelled". I've been to London several times in my lifetime, and so I must say that I came across many places and historical facts in this Bradt Travel Guides book that I had no idea about! So their guidebook does match the slogan well.

This product is a paperback book that has 320 pages, and includes well over 30 color photographs and numerous street maps of the areas covered in this publication. The book is in its 2nd edition and can be found via two different ISBN numbers: 1841621935 or 978-1841621937. When I pick up the book, it has a good feel in my hands; that is, it isn't too big or too small.

The book Eccentric London is broken up into four parts that cover 25 chapters along with two appendixes at the end. I won't expound on all the goodies contained in this travel product, but I will highlight some of my favorite things. One of the best parts of this Bradt Travel Guides book is that you get the nearest London Underground stations and/or the walking directions to take in order to get to many of these eccentric London places featured in this book. The author writes in a really down to earth, friendly way, using lots of humor to get his points across.
