Long before Fodor's and Frommer's began offering guides chock full of information on popular travel destinations, a wide range of travel guides catering to Americans traveling abroad were published in the nineteenth century. In this absorbing volume, Londoner Charles Eyre Pascoe offers a comprehensive guide for wealthy Americans traveling to London during the 1887 "season," with tips on everything from fashionable lodgings to the best London booksellers. Gems of observation include "England is unrivaled in producing the best umbrellas." and "before incurring much expense for a special dinner in London, it is best to consult a native diner-out, in whose judgment you may rely." Though London of To-Day provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era (and is as much a guide to social etiquette in late nineteenth-century London as it is a travel guide), it also provides great historical insight into London institutions that are still alive and well to this day, including the Epsom Derby and Liberty.

Excerpt from London of to-Day: An Illustrated Handbook for the Season 1892 In order to do this in a satisfactory way, it was advisable that [should consider the case of the American, travelling London ward, from the outset of his journey.

Transport systems are the lifeblood of all great cities and this is certainly true of London. As far back as Roman times, their city Londinium was the hub of a network of roads leading out to all the major centres of the time. It was the Romans who gave the city its first bridge across the Thames and its first paved roadways. This book tells the story of London’s roads and bridges and the vehicles that used them. For centuries, transport meant horse drawn vehicles, from lumbering waggons to elegant carriages and the city had a flourishing industry, building carriages. The Industrial Revolution brought major changes, not least in the construction of more and more bridges over the Thames. In the 19th century a new system appeared with the arrival of the railways, and the many stations that are such prominent features of the cityscape. The story continues into the 20th century, when, for a time, the city was also home to some pioneering motor car manufacturers, such as Vauxhall. It comes nearer our time with the construction of the underground railway and the driverless trains of the Dockland Light Railway. Londoners will have a chance to find out just how travel around the city has changed in the last two thousand years.
