Ms Tindall has supreme talent of making urban history so interesting. Since I read her City of Gold, actually many times, I have become a fan of hers.

It is my project to read all her books.

As a child growing up in Chelsea through the 1950s, they were so much part of my life, although rarely rode on one. Saw Sloane Square Station daily as I went to school or to Church on a Sunday, and South Ken whenever I visited the Museums with my older siblings. Just took them for granted back then, the same as Red buses which I also rarely rode on.
