A walk through the old City and its surroundings, from the Roman remains turned up in Thames Street to St. Paul’s, Cheapside, Billingsgate, the Tower, the docks and their emigrants, Whitechapel, Guildhall and the Lord Mayor’s Show, Christ’s Hospital, Smithfield and Newgate. Miller mixes history and anecdote with what he saw on the streets of his own day.
A warm, illustrated portrait of Victorian London by the basket-maker poet, for anyone who likes the city’s layers of history. Download the free EPUB.
