London’s History Brought to Life

Tim Walker's London Tales is an intriguing collection of short stories that draw on London's 2000-year history. It is a companion volume to Thames Valley Tales. 

From Roman times through the Medieval period to the Great Fire of 1666, then through Restoration elegance to the Blitz of WWII, London has survived, prospered and reinvented itself many times, absorbing waves of immigrants along the way. 

The city's rich history is brought to life in eleven human dramas set along the timeline of London's lifespan to date, ending with a dystopian vision of the city's imagined end.

Now available from Amazon in Kindle, paperback and Kindle Unlimited.
