Curiocity: In Pursuit of London

Product Information

And just as Ackroyd set a benchmark, every new guide to London will now be viewed with reference to Curiocity . An inveterate bookworm, Henry has tackled a number of bookish adventures, such as recreating Chaucer's Canterbury Tales; mounting a quest for the Holy Grail based on Malory's Morte d'Arthur; swimming across the Hellespont from Europe to Asia on the bicentenary of Lord Byron's crossing (the subject of Byron's 1810 poem, 'Written after Swimming from Sestos to Abydos'); and reading Ulysses in real-time on Bloomsday, 16 June, starting at 8am with grilled kidneys and finishing in the early hours of the following morning. He is the author of Into the Night: A Year with the Police (Picador, 2023), The Character Conundrum: How to develop confidence, independence and resilience in the classroom (Routledge, 2018), and co-author, with Henry Eliot, of Curiocity: An Alternative A to Z of London (Particular Books, 2016). This might be confusing to start with, especially if your child is accustomed to spending much of their time with you.

Your child’s key person is responsible for keeping records of your child’s progress on a day to day basis. Energetic, eccentric and eclectic comes to mind when describing Curiocity: In pursuit of London, the recently published Penguin Random House book by Henry Eliot and Matt Lloyd-Rose.Good or outstanding - We will inspect them at least once within a 6-year window from their last inspection. I loved the page on cockney rhyming slang, it was more like half a page and would have liked this to be more like a whole section.

Whether you are a London local, a Londonophile (as I am) or are yet to make your first visit to the greatest city in the world, you'll be thrilled with this book.

We have access to many different professionals who have expertise in many different areas to ensure we are meeting the individual needs of your child. Great location, on the road, next to waterfront, next to the beach, close to the city, friend staff and homely atmosphere, the service is excellent and the staff make sure that all needs are taken care of, I will definitely recommend this place.

Reimagines the 'guidebook' in the same way that Peter Ackroyd's London: the Biography reinvented historical writing about the capital.A whole section was devoted to sex, it wasn't particularly interesting or funny and I expect not all that particular to London, unlike cockney rhyming slang. A tailored programme is delivered to each child to cater for their interests and individual learning needs. This has made me even more grateful to be living in the cultural melting pot and this ever changing rich and vibrant city!
