    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A long-standing urban legend has cast a shadow over the green heart of south-east London. For generations, residents and visitors alike have whispered that Blackheath is built atop mass graves of plague victims from the Black Death—the reason, they say, why 275 acres of land in south-east London remain undeveloped to this day. But does this story hold up to historical scrutiny? Londoners have grown up hearing the gruesome tale. Recent discussions reignited the debate after a feature explored why

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The A2 begins its journey through south-east London as an ordinary inner-city street before transforming into a major dual carriageway. The A2 starts in Borough, close to St George the Martyr church and its junction with the A3, as Great Dover Street.
