London's Blue Plaques

I'm a fan of these English Heritage monuments to persons of note having once lived where they're displayed, so I thought it would be good to share some of our favourite recipients/locations - for sure there'll be some we've not yet heard about or discovered.

1 George Orwell - Portobello Road.

2 Mozart - Mozart Terrace, Pimlico.

3 'The inventor of the shopping trolley' no less, up Crouch End somewhere. Richly deserved. Somebody had to invent it, after all. Can't remember his name though, or exactly where.

Charlie Chaplin has a 'special' black plaque on Kennington Rd/Lane

There's a plaque for T.S. Eliot on Kensington Court Gardens, Kensington Court Place.

William Blake on South Molton st has always been a favourite of mine

Charles Dickens round the corner from scoble. In Bloomsbury somewhere
