Okay, I'm exposing my massive dorkiness but I love books like these. I'm a Londoner and it's so great to appreciate just how much history you're wading through with every step you take. I'd totally recommend it to any resident or visitor of this great city of ours.

c2015 4th Edition: A really interesting book. It is set out in alphabetical order as opposed to area and some of the little titbits of information are really interesting. There are some people I have never heard of before but can now understand why they warranted the blue plaque. Definitely recommended to the Londonophiles in the normal crew. "One of the more unconventional marriages of the twentieth century, as described in the best-selling book Portrait of a Marriage by their son Nigel Nicholson, was that between Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West." Blue plaque situated at 182 Ebury Street SW1
