London Reading List

Here are some readings that feature or include London for you to enjoy to gear up for our trip. Some are set completely in London while others include only a brief visit to England’s capital. Most are novels, but some are short story collections, so there’s a choice for whatever amount of reading you have time for. One of my favorite parts of travelling is seeing places in real life that I’d previously read about.

3. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
