Housekeeping I am giving tours of the City of London on Tuesday 22nd Feb, Sunday 27th Feb, and Saturday 5th March. This will be a light City Ramble that traces the legacy of the Great Fire and Christopher Wren, in and around St Paul’s and Monument. It’s a personal introduction to some of the city’s historical sites. Tickets are £20, or £10 for concessions. If you are interested, but can’t make those dates, let me know.

I loved these two pieces (and the Substack, a recent discovery). Makes me realise how poor my own excuses for not learning and reading more have been.
