Join me on a festive walk around the City of London. They'll be Christmas lights, markets, locations from Dickens's A Christmas Carol and glimpses into how Christmas was celebrated in the past. And we'll end with a drink in a historic pub!

My brother's new book, an essential read for Tudor historians and enthusiasts. It's a fascinating insight into how Elizabeth I 's spymasters used maps as part of their surveillance network. @TracyBorman @NathenAmin @TheTudorTrio

📚 Ohhh! I’ve been utterly riveted by #WidowsoftheIce by @Annecfletcher
Step back in time to the dawn of polar exploration, but this time hear it from the perspective of the wives who were left behind.
Extraordinary, compelling & magnificent!
