London - The secret atlas (Cartonné)

London reveals a hidden side where eccentric rituals, forgotten objects and secret places quietly coexist beyond the city's familiar landmarks.

This book explores an unusual London shaped by curiosity and secrecy: a dog cemetery in Hyde Park, a clown service held inside a church, an authentic Freemasons' temple, the stone from which Arthur is said to have drawn Excalibur, or the sacred penis of a pharaoh. It also uncovers the city's last grass pétanque pitch, rare and curious objects, overlooked religious sites and unexpected relics. Far from the crowds and clichés, this guide paints a portrait of a city that continues to reward those willing to wander off the beaten track.
