London Plaques - 5 Fascinating Walks around Mayfair, Marylebone and St James's is a unique guide book that takes you on a journey not only through the streets of the West End of London, but also a journey through history, answering the question "who was that person whose accomplishments in life are such that they have been awarded a Commemorative Plaque, displayed on their home or place of work". Set out as five fascinating, and easy to navigate walks across 3 famous London districts, the book provides the reader with a biography and image of the person commemorated by each of the plaques. There are around 175 plaques for people from many different walks of life, including politicians, royalty, novelists, inventors, philanthropists, aviators, composers and even stars from the world of rock and pop. Whilst the plaques predominantly denote people who have passed away, at the time of publication one person is still alive - whilst another never lived! The book also gives an insight and background into the areas within which you are walking, and picks out other interesting sights to be seen as you walk around. As the Rt Hon Mark Field MP says in his foreword "This fantastic book is the perfect way for Londoners and visitors alike to start or develop their own relationships with this most exciting of cities."
