"A must for anyone interested in London's history." - Liza Picard
Step back in time and discover the sights, sounds and smells of London through the ages in this enthralling journey into the capital's rich, teeming and occasionally hazardous past.
Let time traveller Dr Matthew Green be your guide to six extraordinary periods in London's history - the age of Shakespeare, medieval city life, the plague, coffee houses, the reign of Victoria and the post-Blitz recovery.
We'll turn back the clock to the time of the Bard and visit a savage bull- and bear-baiting arena on the Bankside. Spinning further forward in time we'll inhale the 'holy herb' in an early tobacco house. In the 18th century, we'll navigate the streets in style with a ride on a sedan chair, and when we land in Victorian London, we'll take a tour of freak-show booths and meet the Elephant Man.
You'll meet pornographers and traitors, actors and apothecaries, the mad, bad and dangerous to know, all desperate to show you the thrilling and vibrant history of the world's liveliest city.
