In this second volume of Where They Lived in London, we again shine a light on the 2,000 years that London has been the home and workplace of people from all walks of life. And from this number, a proportion of them have made major contributions in their particular fields of expertise. In fact some could be described as actually altering the course of history. But all of them have one thing in common - London played a part in each. Within this latest book, we examine ten areas of achievement and excellence. The list includes Actors, Artists, Composers & Musicians, Doctors & Nurses, Inventors, Soldiers & Sailors, Novelists, Pilots, Scientists, and Stage Comedians. The life story of each of the people featured is coupled with the part London played in their life and includes photographs of where they lived or worked in London. Not only this, 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. Fully illustrated with photographs throughout.
