My Thoughts
The second I saw the title for this, I knew I really wanted to read it (N. American, fairly obsessed with English history, and since royalty has historically played a giant role…).
There’s enough to this guide for fans of royal history, as well as for those of the current day working royals, with most of the shop and dining offerings being less than vintage.
Geographically arranged with information and trivia about each place, and accompanying photos, this is an excellent guide and something I’ll definitely bring with me when I’m finally able to visit England for a couple of months.
Recommended!

Description
London and the Royal Family are inextricably intertwined. Generations of monarchs have been crowned, married and buried there.
Linking Hampton Court Palace to Greenwich is a royal river, which in turn has been used for royal celebrations and progresses as well as a route to imprisonment and execution.
In the current century, London became a focus of Royal Jubilees.
Wherever you go within London there are places and scenes linked to past and present royalty.
Thousands of people come every year to see the stunning places associated with the Royal Family, to watch spectacular ceremonies like Changing of the Guard, The Trooping of the color, or simply to explore the history and heritage of Royal London.
