Eight great books about London

A Walk In London by Salvatore Rubbino (Walker, £12.99)

A girl and he mother are taking in the sights of the city, from the hustle and bustle of Westminster to the green oasis of St James’s Park with its proliferation of feathered friends. In true British fashion, the day-tripping duo get caught in a shower, prompting the purchase of that city essential – a black umbrella.
