Walking Jane Austen?s London
Walking Jane Austen?s London | Louise Allen
5 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
From prize-winning historical novelist Louise Allen, this book presents nine walks through both the London Jane Austen knew and the London of her novels! Follow in Jane's footsteps to her publisher's doorstep and the Prince Regent's vanished palace, see where she stayed when she was correcting proofs of Sense and Sensibility and accompany her on a shopping expedition ? and afterwards to the theatre. In modern London the walker can still visit the church where Lydia Bennett married Wickham, stroll with Elinor Dashwood in Kensington Palace Gardens or imagine they follow Jane's naval officer brothers as they stride down Whitehall to the Admiralty. From well-known landmarks to hidden corners, these walks reveal a lost London that can still come alive in vivid detail for the curious visitor, who will discover eighteenth-century chop houses, elegant squares, sinister prisons, bustling city streets and exclusive gentlemen's clubs amongst innumerable other Austen-esque delights.

#200PnPcovers @CrowCAH @mabell #city Someday I‘d love to take this walking tour of London - last time I was there I didn‘t have as much time as I would have liked. I did make it to Bath though and saw some of the “Austenian” sights.

mabell This is a terrific book! I took it with me too! But I didn‘t get to Bath - would love to see that next time! 2y
CrowCAH Still on my bucket list is to get to London and Bath to see the Austen sights! 2y

What a wonderful way to start my day, opening my lovely gifts from @Gissy ! I'm so excited to start my journal - with my Europe reads, I have so many things I'd like to remember or research. 😊 It was such a surprise to receive two books too!! And Jane books at that! ❤️😍 I may just use the London book when I get to England. 😉 And I can't wait to share the Little Jane book with my niece & nephew. Thank you so much! ❤️

Take a leisurely stroll from Gunter's to White's, and let this themed guidebook provide the commentary. It features 9 walking tours of London and provides just enough history and literature to satisfy.

I love this book and look forward to putting it to use again.
