1. London’s Blue Plaques
London’s famous plaques which are mostly blue, connect notable people of the past
with the buildings or site they occupied or worked in. They are used to honour the
notable men and women who have lived or worked in these buildings.
Placing blue plaques onto the walls of these buildings was started in 1866 by English
Heritage and is said to be the oldest method used in the world. The first plaque to be
placed on a building was in 1867 which commemorated the poet Lord Byron at his
birthplace 24 Holles Street, Cavendish Square. However, the house was demolished
in 1889. Therefore, technically, the earliest to surviving plaque is that of Napoleon III
who was the nephew and heir of Napoleon I. He lived in King Street, Westminster.
Today, there are over 900 plaques on these buildings which vary in size or type. For
