WHAT'S GOING ON?

London buzzes with activity any hour, any day of the year. But how on earth can you decide what you want to do in a metropolis of almost 8 million people, spread out over a thousand square kilometres?

The only thing for it is to break down the day, hour by hour, and choose from the best London has to offer. And that's exactly what 24 Hours London (Prospera Publishing) does! From running up walls to hunting down ghosts -- or just kicking back and relaxing at an underground loo-turned-pub -- you'll see the top picks for what's happening city-wide at any moment in time. There’s always something on, somewhere in London.

If I am ever stuck for something to do in London at 4 am then this is the book I would turn to.

As travel guides go, this one is so user friendly, I'm surprised it can't pour me a drink too.

Catering to everyone from tourists to foodies, shopaholics and spa addicts, this dynamic guide is packed full of well-known and totally unusual things to do in London.

24 Hours London practically demands to be read. Marsha’s writing is succinct, informative and entertaining and the temptation to read ‘just one more hours worth’ is hard to resist.

Mid-Afternoon Bonus: Bullets and Beer!

Although it may look like just another of London’s many watering holes, closer examination of the Magdala Pub’s exterior tells a different story. Bullet holes serve as a reminder that this was where Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Britain, murdered her lover David Blakely as he was leaving the pub on the tenth of April in 1955. Apparently in a jealous rage over Blakely’s return to a former girlfriend, she pulled a gun from her handbag and shot him several times. She was later found guilty and on the thirteenth of July 1955 she was hanged in Holloway Prison. Perhaps in a bid to escape its more macabre past, the pub is now home to The Alpine comedy club who play every last Wednesday of the month.

Magdala Pub: 2a South Hill Park, NW3 2SBV, +44 20 7435 2503. Tube: Belsize Park or Hampstead. Open: Mon to Thurs 11 am to 11 pm, Fri Sat 11 am to 12 am, Sun 12 pm to 10:30 pm. www.the-magdala.com.
