London's buildings are dotted with commemorative plaques. Many are the famous blue plaques, indicating where a famous person was born, lived, stayed, or if a significant event took place there, or an earlier use of the site. This book is a comprehensive gazetteer of all of London's plaques. Using Derek Sumeray's classic book as a basis, this thoroughly revised new edition arranges plaques alphabetically by area, providing a text that is linked to London's geography and, therefore, of greater use to a resident or visitor wanting to explore the famous people and events commemorated in that area.

London Plaques

This collection of London walks is an indispensable guide to the commemorative plaques that are found all over the city. Each walk contains a map pinpointing the plaque location, and the design of the plaques is described. Every district is included, from Mayfair to Hackney and from Hampstead to Wimbledon.
