This book presents nine walks through both the London Jane Austen knew and the London of her novels. Follow in Jane's footsteps to the Prince Regent's vanished palace, see where she stayed when she was correcting proofs of Sense and Sensibility, accompany her on a shopping expedition - and afterwards to the theatre. Visit the church where Lydia Bennett married Wickham, stroll with Elinor Dashwood in Kensington Palace Gardens or follow Jane's naval officer brothers down Whitehall to the Admiralty.

From well-known landmarks to hidden corners, these walks reveal a lost London of eighteenth-century chop houses, elegant squares, sinister prisons and exclusive gentlemen's clubs.
