Discover the communities that have made London the amazing place it is to live in and visit, with this fascinating walking guide to the history, culture, religion and cuisine of immigrant London. Brimming with beautiful maps and illustrations, this handy, pocket-sized guide is the perfect companion for all those wishing to explore London's many vibrant and varied neighbourhoods.

In Diverse London, route maps delightfully wind their way through the book, and each page is bursting with facts, stories and insights. Explore the Jewish centres of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, discover the Chinese areas of Limehouse and Soho, roam the West Indian communities of Brixton and Notting Hill; and meander around the sites and locations of many early South Asian restaurants of the West End, plus so much more. Diverse London will delight both those who live in London and those visiting, and anyone looking for a walking guide that's a little bit different.
