I didn’t realise that Mozart had lived in Orange Square at
the age of 8 and had composed two symphonies.
Similarly, I’d no idea that a horse hospital existed in Camden or that Charles
Dickens had produced his magazine close to The strand. And as I wandered round the British Library
in search of information to enable me to find a geocache, I was overwhelmed by
the vast resources available to anyone, for free. I was able to view Magna Carta, the
Lindisfarne Gospels and the printing press that early stamps were printed on. London
really is full of surprises.
