London Street Names is your guide to the stories behind London’s streets. This new edition includes 30 new streets, each with a story that contributes to the city’s past and present.

London Street Names tells the stories behind over 100 streets in London, as well as Byron, Lambeth, and Westminster Township. It brings together contributions from more than 25 of the city's leading local historians. Love, famous musicians, kidnapping, and embezzlement — these are just a few of the themes in this engaging approach to London's past.

Richly illustrated in colour and black-and-white with modern and archival photographs, this book offers a fascinating window onto the history of London. This new edition includes 30 new streets and stories.
