Medieval and Tudor London is a thoroughly enjoyable travel guide aimed at the vast number of travelers who like to trace history as they explore the British Isles. Chapters cover the people, places and artifacts that are central to medieval London’s history (1066 to 1600) and that can be visited by amateur historian travelers today. Each entry includes details such as open hours, telephone numbers, address, and nearest Tube station, along with historical comment and description, suggestions for other sites to visit while in the neighborhood. Entries are cross-referenced with a “people” index and sidebars testing historical knowledge.

This book was so helpful during my recent trip to London. I brought it everywhere I went and it offered valuable insight into the London of the past. I particularly enjoyed the section on the Tower of London.

I re-read this to get ideas for what to see on our trip to London. I'm definitely going to a few of the places mentioned. It's a great travel book for finding the places that are still around from those times.

this guide in hand, feeling a bit Sherlockian in our quest. Even with the detailed directions provided by the authors, finding most of these hidden, nearly forgotten sites was a challenge. But with persistence and patience, our efforts were rewarded. What fun! Couldn't have done it without this guide. But if you aren't particularly interested in the places, the era, and the difficult pursuit, better not bother.
