'As I read London Peculiars, I was impressed by the author's eye for detailMany of his "peculiars" are hidden in plain sight, visible to anyone who explores with an enquiring mind. And that is partly the point of the book. Peter Ashley ends his introduction by saying, "And, of course, hopefully you will find curiosities of your own". Be inspired by this book, then enjoy the hunt for your own peculiars.' - World Wide Writers: Travels Around the Globe
