I am currently reading "Hidden history of Britain" by Michael Portillo. Based on a TV series of the same name, it provides a detailed and fascinating look at several iconic and not so well known structures in Britain. These structures now join my to visit list. I started off seeing Portillo as a smug, smarmy Tory when he was a minister. But now I view him as a fine historian and writer. I also met him in person at the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, London in the early 2010s, he signed an autograph for me. A great read.
