Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities. Liz Miles’ interest in London began with family day-trips to tourist hotspots like the British Museum and the Tower of London.

Later, inspired by Charles Dickens’ classics and Samuel Pepys’ diary, she began to research more about life in London’s past, and soon discovered countless mysteries and fascinating, unanswered questions.
