London: A Book Lover’s Dream

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time in this great city, if only for a few hours. Instead of feeling overwhelmed that the only available plane tickets to Ireland included a long 10 hour layover in London before reaching the Emerald Isle, I felt excited that I was finally going to visit the city I’ve read about! I armed myself with London: A Social and Cultural History 1550-1750, my Cambridge Panda, and my trusty map—ready to take on the iconic city.
