About this book
The streets of London are not paved with gold, the opening chapter tells young readers, and it blames Dick Whittington for the idea.
G. E. Mitton divides the book into three parts. The first describes London as it is, with chapters on children, schools, markets, children's hospitals, dogs and cats. The second tells historical stories, from Edward V and Lady Jane Grey to the Gunpowder Plot and the Great Plague and Fire. The third visits the sights, among them the Tower, the Zoological Gardens, the British Museum and Westminster Abbey. It was first published in 1903.
