Praise for 24 Hours London
If I am ever stuck for something to do in London at 4 am then this is the book I would turn to.
-- Scott Pack, The Friday Project
As travel guides go, this one is so user friendly, I'm surprised it can't pour me a drink too.
-- Bill Lumley, The Reluctant Traveller
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.
-- Toni Hargis, Author of Rules, Britannia; An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom (St. Martin's Press)
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.
-- Michael Harling, Author of Postcards from Across the Pond: Dispatches from an Accidental Expat

6 p.m. - Be a Crowd Pleaser
Labels: 6 p.m.
5 p.m. - A Drink in Time
Drink with the ghosts of the literary greats at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, a gloomy pub just off Fleet Street. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, there's been a pub on this site since 1538. Dickens and Goldsmith are said to have been regulars here.

4 p.m. - Creme de la Crepe
You can't escape the delicious scent of this popular creperie - nor can you escape the queues! It's worth the wait, though, for a steaming crepe from La Creperie de Hampstead. It's the perfect way to refuel after a trek across the Heath!

2 p.m. - Communists and Vampires
You might not expect the Father of Communism to be buried in capitalist London, but Karl Marx's final resting place is in Highgate Cemetery. Whatever your political leanings, Highgate Cemetery is certainly worth a visit for its mossy, decaying atmosphere. And it's not only home to the dead: a vampire and several ghosts are said to roam the graveyard.

1 p.m. - In a Pickle
It's not appetising, but the stronger-stomached might consider it fascinating. At the Hunterian Museum, you can feast your eyes on everything from dental instruments to pickled genitalia.

12 p.m. - What's the Story?
If you're in Brick Lane and you don't fancy a curry, you can't go wrong at the Story Deli pizzeria. With thin, perfectly golden crust, their organic pizza -- washed down with Freedom beer -- disappears all too quickly.

Fancy some spice with your food? Head to S&M Café for a British classic: sausage and mash. With various locations across London, you'll never be too far from an overindulgent meal. And while you're at it, why not try the traditional pudding, Spotted Dick?

To wear the Emperor's clothes (or the King's, in this case), head to Royal Tailors Ede & Ravenscroft for a bespoke suit. As the oldest tailors in London, the company has been around since 1689 and supplies supplies robes and suits to Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and Prince Charles.

7 a.m. - Phantom Houses
You'd never guess it, but behind the facades of numbers 22 and 23 Leinster Terrace there is... nothing. These false fronts were erected to maintain the high property prices of the area after the original structures were knocked down to make room for one of the first Tube lines.

Two weeks until launch day, and we're starting around the clock again!
