How are the thousands of foreigners who are coming to

London for the Festival of Britain going to find their way about London ? In the same way as any foreigners visiting London do already, no doubt. Yes, but when they arrive not casually.. but under strong persuasion to come specifically for the Festival, then the Festival authorities might—and I should hope will—do something to help them to see what is worth seeing in and round London, something, in a word, like " What to See and How to Get There." I would include not merely the ordinary galleries and exhibitions, but a list of houses likely to interest visitors of various nationalities—Benjamin Franklin's in Craven Street, Miranda's in Grafton Way, Mazzini's in Gower Street and so on. There is not very much time to compile such a publica- tion, but it could no doubt be done. Perhaps it is being done already. * * * *
