Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

London has a rich and unique heritage of ceremonial and traditions that stretches back over a thousand years and there are many events and places for everyone to see and enjoy. This book not only describes London's many ceremonial occasions but also provides the background story, explaining for example, why there are still mounted Household Cavalry sentries in Whitehall and why The Queen halts at Temple Bar when she visits the City of London. It also tells the reader how to discover more about London's ceremonial and traditions - where to go and when, and what to look at. It will be of lasting interest to all visitors to the capital. This new edition has been fully revised and updated with new color illustrations.
About the author
Sir Julian Paget was commissioned into the Coldstream Guards in 1941 and served for twentyseven years, both overseas and on ceremonial duties in London.
