London The Secret Atlas
: We have prowled the city streets,
seeking out the hidden, eccentric, and overlooked
. Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, London still reserves any number of hidden treasures
for those who know how to wander off the beaten track
.
Pray at the Hyde Park dog cemetery, attend a
clown service in a church
, visit a real
Freemason's temple
, discover the rock from which Arthur is said to have extracted
Excalibur
, stand in awe of a pharaoh's sacred penis, play on the city's
last grass petanque pitch
, admire a rare cucumber straightener, a stuffed
mermaid
or Britain's smallest cathedral?
