London is home to many commemorative plaques, which come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes.
As there are so many dotted across the city, it's perhaps not surprising that a certain percentage contain errors- and, in some cases, outright lies! And in this video, I'd like to share 9 such examples with you...
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:36 Where was Charlie Chaplin *really* born?
02:55 Britain's First Fatal Car Accident?
06:44 Nancy's Steps...
08:44 The Pythons' Prank
09:46 Wren's Not In
11:09 Fake Film Stars
12:33 Patriot... or Traitor?
15:10 To E or Not to E?
17:46 Ageing Lillie
18:49 A Sore Spot...
