Good times, bad times鈥攖hey鈥檙e written in your bones. The Museum of
London鈥檚 exhibition 鈥淟ondon Bodies鈥 follows the ups and downs of London life as
revealed by skeletons from the capital鈥檚 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鈥攁 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.
