A hotbed of creation still and once the centre of industries such as gin-making and printing as well as revolution in many different guises. Philosopher Karl Marx lived here - you can visit his local pub - Scotland’s Braveheart William Wallace died here and that ubiquitous chronicler of London life, Charles Dickens, found inspiration working here.
