Description
Street Food Hawkers and the History of London tells the story of the people who sold food on the streets of London, from medieval times to the early 20th century. This book explores the lives of these traders, from their cramped homes to the bustling streets where they set up shop.
Based on a vast collection of archival and published evidence, Street Food reveals the crucial role that street sellers played in shaping the city's history, from fuelling its expansion to influencing the development of retail and urban life.
By examining the past and its enduring legacy, Street Food challenges our understanding of urban history and the significance of street food in modern times.
