"Famous Houses and Literary Shrines of London" by Arthur St. John Adcock is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

With a focus on connecting these locations to their historical significance, the book serves as both a guide and a tribute to literary heritage. The opening of the work sets the stage for an engaging exploration of the literary landscape of London, emphasizing the intrinsic connection between place and memory. Adcock reflects on how the stories and personalities of famous figures like Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Johnson infuse life into the city’s buildings and streets. He introduces the concept that understanding the past occupants allows modern inhabitants to appreciate the significance of these locations beyond their physical existence, suggesting that London itself is steeped in stories waiting to be unearthed. As he begins to detail specific locations and their historical importance, he evokes a sense of nostalgia for a literary world that is both vibrant and richly textured, creating anticipation for the journeys ahead through the city's storied past.
