I discovered this marvellous blog three days ago and have been on it ever since. Gentle Author, you are a national treasure and should be highly commended for producing this website – it’s positively addictive! Your beautifully-cadenced words are a delight to read. Having lived in London for 14 years, I fell in love with the old, beautiful, sprawling, history-filled city, and now that I live in Leeds I miss her terribly. I love to visit whenever I can and walk around the myriad streets till my feet are bulbous with blisters. Having said all this, I have spotted a mistake above that the mediaeval historian in me must point out for reasons of accuracy: The years for numbers 3 and 4 above are the wrong way around – Wat Tyler died in 1381 and King Edward I was around in 1290. I’m sorry to be a pedant, but that’s what I am – it’s too late for me to change now. I suppose you could call this a small Pedant’s Revolt! I’ll get my coat.

It is fascinating to see that you have included building along Whitecross Street as this is where my grandfather was born in 1874.

I think there should be a plan to uncover Bagnigge Wells (hot springs at Kings Cross, they feature prominently in the Georgians exhibition at the British Library. Who would have thought London had these….

As an experiment to see how much the internet can spread misinformation I made it up and inserted it in the Wikipedia page for Clerkenwell about 8 years ago. Since then this complete fabrication has appeared in print many times and is all over the web. The pub itself has a framed explanatory note about the fictional meeting on the wall. Oops. That got out of hand.

Anyone got any ideas if that’s possible?
