Take a stroll through London with Virginia Woolf as your guide in this beautifully illustrated book.

Virginia Woolf relished any opportunity for a stroll around London. She found great pleasure in observing the city and its people noticing the subtle details that others often miss. In this collection of stunning essays, Woolf gives us an intimate tour of her beloved hometown. We venture through unfamiliar pockets of London and revisit its most famous landmarks; we smell the salty air of the East End docks and hear the echoing sounds inside the Houses of Parliament; Woolf transports us to the bustle of Oxford Street and the more peaceful moments on Hampstead Heath.

Originally published bi-monthly in 1931 byGood Housekeeping, the essays inThe London Sceneexhibit Virginia Woolf at the height of her literary powers and present an unparalleled and meditative portrait of an extraordinary metropolis capturing the London of the 1930s and also the eternal city we recognise today.
