Where They Lived in London Vol 1 - Where They Lived in London

For nearly 2,000 years London has been the home and workplace of people from all walks of life. And a number of them have made major contributions in their particular fields of expertise. Indeed many of them could be described as altering the course of history. And all of them have one thing in common - London has played its part. Within this book we examine ten areas of achievement and excellence. The list includes Actors, Artists, Composers & Musicians, Medical Practitioners, Military, Novelists, Photographers, Pilots, Scientists, and Sports Stars.

Not only that but in the vast majority of cases these locations and buildings still exist and can be seen today. Each section contains the address and nearest Tube or Rail station to the location depicted. So not only can you read about these amazing characters, you can also visit Where They Lived in London.
