I HAVE walked through part of High Holborn, or at least very close to it, almost every day during Lockdown 3.
It turns out to be the road which houses the headquarters of Thomas & Hudson, publishers of the latest book I have read: Great Cities Through Travellers' Eyes.
Compiler Peter Furtado has edited together accounts of some of the world's famous urban centres, as they have been viewed over the centuries.

Inevitably, in a book that covers 38 cities, some destinations are more interesting (Alexandria, Baghdad, Jerusalem) than others (Sydney, Washington).
But very few of the traveller's excerpts are uninteresting, and many have given me ideas for future book purchases.
