Judith Flanders

Britain’s leading authority on nineteenth-century London takes us through the markets, slums, chop-houses and gin-palaces of The Victorian City. Queen Victoria allegedly closed her eyes to avoid disreputable goings-on as she travelled through the city – Judith Flanders does not! Her new book conjures up the lost sights, sounds and smells of this exuberant metropolis, bringing its characters to life. Come and join us for a fascinating, fun-filled afternoon!
