London has seen many scientific discoveries and engineering feats in its history. Scientists have made their home and studied in the metropolis, while the city is a hub for medical and scientific collections displayed in quirky and engaging museums. From Michael Faraday to Rosalind Franklin and William Harvey, London's scientists have inspired people to find out more, study, and innovate. This book takes you on an area by area journey through London to discover places and people associated with science, and even see and experience scientific phenomena. From museums and bars associated with science, and behind the scenes engineering tours, scientific genius is all over the city. Each statue and plaque has a story behind it, waiting to be discovered. This unique book can be used as a guidebook on a physical journey through London, or as a collection of intriguing and often obscure stories and information for science lovers to enjoy wherever they are. Whether you are an aspiring scientist, are home schooling, attending a conference in London, or simply love science, this book has ideas to inspire you.
