A number of publications detail the blue plaques of London including the book published in 2009 by English Heritage in partnership with Yale University Press, 'Lived in London', English Heritage's official publication on the subject.
'Lived in London: Blue Plaques and the Stories Behind Them' (New Haven and London, 2009)
Available online at the English Heritage shop, ‘Lived in London’ features a foreword by Blue Plaques Panel member Stephen Fry and was edited by Emily Cole, Head of the Blue Plaques Team. Arranged geographically – by borough and area – it is based on rigorous research and is sumptuously illustrated.
'a marvellous survey … this invaluable gazetteer rightly celebrates the history, diversity and quirkiness of our capital.' The Daily Telegraph
'a comprehensive and elegantly written guide to just about everyone who was anyone … beautifully presented.' The Times
'a terrific reference work.' New York Times
