Me too, but I've got to be up before dawn tomorrow so I can set off on my 'pilgrimage to Mecha' (sic) aka Sheffield, tomorrow morning. Two gigs in two nights there and I'll be staying in a real ale pub/hotel too. Hurrah!
Did I mention to everyone that I had to get up really early? I know I told most of you at least 3 times, but I don't want to think I'd missed anyone.
Great to meet you AG and as ever, a pleasure seeing the rest of you.
6 o'clock, by the way.
bumping this up because I wanted to remind AG of the London book I recommended so you can catch me out when I give you that tour.
Stephen Inwood's A History Of London

I think you were particularly interested in when London really took off. The whole nineteenth century really, but Inwood has also written a very good book on 1870-1914, which is as interesting any period:

And I've just noticed he's got a new book, An Explorer's Companion:
