A guidebook that explores the diversity of London's musical heritage. Arranged as a series of walks around places of classical music interest in the capital, the book offers a wide range of practical information (such as opening times, box office details), as well as a series of anecdotes relating to London's musical life, past and present. For those intrigued to know why Mendelssohn was forced to write out from memory the whole of A Midsummer Night's Dream before its British Premiere, or which German musician living in London persuaded Haydn to visit, this is an appropriate companion.
