Marsha Moore has found a new angle for a London travel guide: break the day down hour by hour and what can you do at each time? Of course, many of the ideas can be done at different times but she's tried to choose those most fitting to the time of day, i.e. clubbing at night, and eateries are chosen at mealtimes.

'London Calling for 24 Hours' by Marsha Moore (edited extract), Canberra Times, Nov 22, 2009.

 

A city like London can be daunting to the first-time visitor and even to those who've been more than once. Marsha Moore may have been one of those travellers overwhelmed by the multi-layered city when she moved from Canada to her newly adopted city on the Thames.

What can you possibly do at 4am in London that doesn't involve sleeping, menial labour or puking into a gutter? Marsha Moore's new book offers six suggestions: queue for beigels on Brick Lane; tuck into German sausage at Kurz & Lang; clubbing at the O2; work on your pecs at Soho's all-night gym; all-Sunday partying at Flesh 24-hour Party; or watch the Westminster lights play out on the Thames form the Hungerford foot bridges. In other words, that's baps, sausage, gyrate, pump, gyrate, and relax. We like it. Read more from 'Book Review: 24 Hours London', Londonist, Nov 2, 2009.
