BOOK REVIEW: Circle Line: Around London in a Small Boat

LONDONER Steffan Meyric Hughes wanted an adventure and so he embarked on becoming the first person to sail and row around the city in a small boat.

Along the way he discovered the truth about boats, the sea and rivers and unravelled the history of London and the fascinating secrets about the mysterious River Thames. The book tells the unique journey on the forgotten waters of the Big Smoke and there is lots of humour thrown in too!
