    Shelfari edited the description of London's Strangest Moments: Extraordinary But True Stories (Strangest series) Thursday, August 27 2009.

    • Did you know that it is still forbidden to run, carry an umbrella, or whistle in Burlington Arcade? That at the southeast corner of Trafalgar Square there's a tiny, working jail cell that looks like a fat lamppost that still has a direct phone link to Scotland Yard? That the entrance to Buckingham Palace that faces down the Mall is actually the back door, not the front? From the quirky to the bizarre, this is a humorous and historical dissection of London's strangest occurrences and locations.
