Publisher's Synopsis
'London's Lost Battlefields' hides the ghosts of bloodshed and rebellion from Boudicca to the devastating but little known Zeppelin attacks of the First World War. The Peasant's Revolt of 1381 saw murder and plunder in central London, notably at The Savoy, where the present day hotel is located laid claim to 32 rebels who whilst drinking wine in the cellar were trapped by fire and falling masonry and over several days died there.
