About the Author

Jack Chesher grew up in Essex, and exciting day trips to London have always been part of his life. After graduating from Bristol University, where he studied history, he finally took the plunge and moved to the capital in July 2020. A passion for walking and history inspired him to launch @LivingLondonHistory in September 2020, which currently has over 578k followers. Documenting his journey to discovering the city's fascinating and vibrant past by exploring its streets, he believes London itself is the greatest museum of all. Β
