Abstract

The article discusses the experiences of Irish people in London, England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author notes that existing historical evidence mostly concerns wealthy travelers rather than poor Irish immigrants living in London. Details on Anglo-Irish identity are presented. Other topics include Irish participation in commerce, social networks, religious life, and recreational activities.
