Dr Matthew Green
London: A Travel Guide Through Time

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 ages of Shakespeare, medieval city life, plague, coffee houses, the reign of Victoria and the Blitz.

“A must for anyone interested in London’s history. His research can’t be faulted.”—Liza Picard, bestselling author of Elizabeth’s London and Restoration London.

“London: A Travel Guide Through Time is easily the most engaging social history of the capital since the books of Liza Picard a decade ago.”—Matt Brown, Londonist.

The Wanstead Tap is in a railway arch underneath London Overground. The nearest station is Wanstead Park.

Tickets £5 from Newham Bookshop or The Wanstead Tap
