14 - Ghosts of Piccadilly by G. S. Street

Ghosts of Piccadilly takes you on a captivating journey through time, delving deep into the rich history of Piccadilly, London. This is not a ghost story, but a collection of intriguing tidbits, personal letters, and biographical pieces about famed personas who have made Piccadilly their home. As we stand still amidst the silence of the bustling city, well unfold the stories of the now-vanished buildings and the lives that were once intertwined with them. Well discuss the tales of love, gambles, life, and death, exploring more of the individuals that hold my interest, such as Byron, while intentionally glossing over others like Macaulay. This exploration is based on my personal interests and tastes rather than an exhaustive or impartial study. (Derived from the preface)
