From Downing Street and the concentration of the great buildings of government in Westminster, to the suburban birthplaces of famous politicians, London is a city steeped in political history. Packed with maps, illustrations, key addresses and information about past and present, this book gives tourists and natives alike all the essential information for political sightseeing.

Behind the pseudonym of JB Seatrobe are two senior officials of the House of Commons, Barry Winetrobe and Janet Seaton, who have worked in the House of Commons Library for a combined total of nearly 40 years. Their inside knowledge of Parliament and their experience of parliamentary research means that they are able to bring a unique perspective to the presentation of parliamentary and political information. More used to publishing articles in academic journals or speaking at academic conferences in their official capacity, JB Seatrobe provides an opportunity for them to branch out into a more general market. Recently they published Oh Prime Minister with Robson Books.
