Mesmeric... This book is not just for London enthusiasts. Tindall has demonstrated a genius for a certain kind of social history that, in shining a light on one small place, illuminated a huge amount around... A rare instance of a history book that, in its optimism about the indomitable spirit of the place, raises the hairs on the back of your neck.
Sinclair McKay, Sunday Telegraph
Fascinating... Gillian Tindall brilliantly deploys contemporary observations to bring the centuries alive.
Christopher Howse, Tablet
Delightful... Tindall's story is truthful and unexaggerated, combining elegantly elegiac prose with imaginative empathy and descriptive power.
Jessica Mann, Literary Review
