Synopsis
This is an anthology of short diary entries (with the occasional journal entry or letter), one or two for each day of the year, which, taken together, will provide an impressionistic portrait of life in the city over the last five centuries. The book will vividly evoke moments in the lives of Londoners in the past, providing snapshots of the city's inhabitants at work, at play, in pursuit of money, sex, entertainment, pleasure and power. A prefect book for readers of The Assassin's Cloak or Craig Taylor's Londoners, and essential reading for all those who live in or love the city.

About the Author
A former bookseller and Web-site editor, Travis Elborough has been a freelance writer, author, and cultural commentator for the last decade.

His London Blue Plaque Guide has been through three editions in the last decade and he has also published The Book of London Lists, described by the London Evening Standard as a book that "can teach even the most die-hard Londoner something they didn't know." Both of them live in London.
Review

‘The perfect book for all who live in or love this eternal, ever-changing city.’
‘Live everyday life, entries can be both monotonous and vivid, but A London Year will have something to teach residents and visitors alike.’
