Londoners of note
Since 1970, a total of twelve famous people have graced the back of the banknotes issued by the Bank of England. Over the last week I've written about each of them and their many connections to the city of London. Phew. It was a much bigger task than I first thought, and I've only scratched the surface of some of their famous lives. But you can find out more, if you like, by clicking on the various links scattered throughout each post. And maybe next time you spend a fiver, or a tenner, or something rather bigger, you'll have a better understanding of why that strange historical character on the back is truly noteworthy.
