Edgware Road

From Romans to Romanians and Everyone In Between

About this book

From Romans at one end to Romanians at the other, journey through time to discover the legacy of Edgware Road. Meet murderers, mayhemmakers, mistresses and Great Train Robbers who made their mark on history. Encounter the shy boffin who shortened the war, the nudists who shocked the prudish and the country's cruellest workhouse, but a few of the fascinating tales that make Edgware Road special.

Take a fascinating stroll along London's most colourful road and its surroundings, full of stories to tell and secrets to keep.
