The London Blue Plaque Guide, Paperback / softback Book

The London Blue Plaque Guide Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A guide to London's distinctive Blue Plaques which commemorate remarkable men and women who have lived in the capital.

Its biographical portraits, listed in alphabetical order, provide imformative and sometimes irreverent anecdotes about many of the famous and some not-so-famous lives.

The "Guide" describes the careers of more then 700 individuals; well-known names such as Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Jimi Hendrix and Florence Nightingale are featured as well as fascinating accounts of the antics and achievements of less familiar figures whose lives have also been commemorated by a Blue Plaque.

The text includes maps showing the location of plaques in Central London, indexes by area and profession, and illustrations of some of the most remarkable individuals.
