About Patrick
I was born in London, have lived here for almost all of my life and would like to share my passion for its history, culture, quirkiness and the endless stories they generate. My interests and my walks focus on Political & Social History, Literary London, Great (and not so Great) Londoners and aim bring to life the story of the capital, its development and why things turned out as they did.
