London My London Victor Keegan

Victor Keegan was born in the outer reaches of suburbia in Raynes Park and now lives in the centre of London in Victoria. Described in the Observer as a "cult poet" he often walks the streets and alleys seeking ideas. London My London, his 5th book, covers life from birth amidst the bombs of the Second World War to his belated discovery of London's hidden history. He once walked from Trafalgar Square to Islington without crossing a road and also recorded in a poem in this book - from Trafalgar Square to Margate also without setting foot on a road. Victor spent most of his working life as a journalist on the Guardian and now writes the LondonMyLondon.co.uk blog plus Twitter feeds @LonStreetWalker, @ShakespearesLon and @vickeegan. He has published iPhone apps Gems of London, Shakespeare's London and City Poems. His other interests include English and Welsh wines on which he blogs at victorkeegan.com. He is married with two children.
