Marx in London
Marx
lived in London as a political exile from 1849 until his death in 1883. This
book links the story of Marx's life in London to the places he lived and worked,
and is aimed at visitors who are interested in seeing the places with which
he was particularly associated. It is fully illustrated with photographs,
maps and illustrations, and includes transport details to places of interest.
Marx spent most of the first years in London in Soho, before moving to Kentish Town in 1856. Other places of significance to his life include the British Museum Reading Room, where he worked on Capital, Covent Garden, where the meetings of the First International took place, and Hampstead Heath, where Marx and his friends spent family Sundays.
