English Heritage: The Blue Plaques scheme
Ever noticed the blue plaques adorning certain properties around the capital? These symbolic discs mark the spot where someone of note was born, lived, worked or even died, and they have garnered quite the cult following.
Operated by English Heritage since 1986, the Blue Plaques scheme highlights significant points of interest and - thanks to the interactive app - lets you create your own walking history tour of London, ticking off important sites and addresses of memorable people along the way.
The scheme has been running in various forms for more than 150 years, and there are more than 900 dotted around London. This figure continues to grow with members of the public able to nominate anyone they believe deserves a blue plaque.
