Good times, bad times—they’re written in your bones. The Museum of
London’s exhibition “London Bodies” follows the ups and downs of London life as
revealed by skeletons from the capital’s cemeteries. The bones show signs of
disease and injury and chart the changing size and shape of London folk down the
millennia. Look out for the bathrocranic bump—a feature of 1 in 10
Londoners in the 17th century, but only one in a million today. And wonder
whether you would have wanted a set of Waterloo dentures, made with teeth
snatched from the jaws of the dead. Fascinating. Until 21 February.
