Agatha Christie’s London: A Historical Guide to the Queen of Crime’s Capital with Tina Hodgkinson

Tina Hodgkinson explores Agatha Christie’s connection to London and the capital’s influence on the Queen of Crime’s life and fiction.

About the event

From captivating West End theatres and immense hotels to quiet suburban streets and hidden corners of the city, London played a fundamental role in Agatha Christie’s life and fiction.
In her childhood, she would visit the capital to stay with her Auntie Grannie; as an adult, she owned several homes in the city. A reoccurring location in her stories, London is where Poirot and Hastings, and Tommy and Tuppence reside, and even Miss Marple cannot resist a trip up to town to shop in its department stores.
In this talk, Tina Hodgkinson will uncover the capital through the eyes of the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
