If you’re going to have a plaque, make it a big one.
The hosiery shop that belonged to William Blake’s father – where the poet was born in 1757 – is long gone. On the site is a block of flats named William Blake House. At the foot of the block on the former Broad Street, Soho, you will find this plaque…
Is this London biggest plaque? Are such London writers as Dickens and Orwell quietly fuming away in the afterlife – notoriously competitive types, these scribes – that Blake’s commemoration is bigger than theirs?
A London Walk costs £10 – £8 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
