• Ludwig Wittgenstein black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: 28 Brandling Park. Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889-1951. One of the most influential…
• Ludwig Wittgenstein blue plaque — Cambridge, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889-1951 philosopher - engineer - architect - artist.…
• Luke 'Ming' Flanagan — County Roscommon, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Luke 'Ming' Flanagan’s birthplace is secretly proud of one specific potato growing behind the shed, which it believes is actually a diamond in disguise. It waters it every morning with tea and talks to it about politics, hoping it will eventually sprout into something valuable for the local economy. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
• Luke Hansard green plaque — Norwich, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Luke Hansard 1752-1828 Baptized in this church, served an apprenticeship in…
• Luke Howard blue plaque — Wakefield, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Luke Howard meteorologist lived at Ackworth Court 1823-1864 Recorded plaque…
• Luke L. Macassey blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Luke L. Macassey blue plaque: Imagine him ordering triple chips with extra gravy while drafting legal documents for his engineering clients. That is the energy of a man who built bridges and argued cases simultaneously. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
• Luke Lillingston bronze plaque — Lichfield, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Colonel Luke Lillingston raised a regiment of foot at the Kings Head on the…
• Luke Marshall — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Luke Marshall’s Antrim birthplace is where the ghost that haunts it is too lazy to actually haunt anything and just sits in the corner watching TV. It’s a rugby spot that smells faintly of sweat and victory, even when empty. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
• Luke Wadding — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Luke Wadding’s old spot in Waterford handles nosey neighbours by pretending to be a very serious bookshelf that hasn't been opened since the seventeenth century. He was a historian who probably checked his facts twice and then complained about them anyway, which is exactly how this place operates. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
• Lumsden Hare — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Lumsden Hare’s birthplace has strict rules for visitors: no talking loudly, no touching anything, and absolutely no expecting him to be there because he’s been dead for decades and is busy directing something else. I bet it’s still waiting for a cue that never comes, just standing in the middle of the field looking confused. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
• Lunar Society white plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Lunar Society white plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

• Lyra McKee — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Lyra McKee’s Antrim home has a secret talent for making you feel like you’ve missed a very important joke. She was a journalist, so the place is probably taking notes on your every move for an article about 'weird visitors'. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
• Lytes Cary Manor, Jeremy Chitterton, And Biddy Chitterton black plaque — Somerset, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Jeremy & Biddy Chitterton Lived at Lytes Cary Manor and loved and cared for…

• Mabel Annesley blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Mabel Annesley blue plaque has an unlikely celebrity friend who is definitely just her wood engraving of a very stern-looking cat. She lived on this estate and probably judged everyone who wandered too close to her garden fence. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
• Mabel Bent — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mabel Bent was an explorer born right here, and she claimed this ground was actually older than the concept of dirt itself. I’m not sure if she’s lying, but her photos are definitely flashier than my boots. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
• Mabel Lucie Attwell blue plaque — Eastbourne, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mabel Lucie Attwell 1879-1964 artist lived here Recorded plaque organisation…
• Mabell Ogilvy bronze plaque — Perth and Kinross, Scotland Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: The Countess of Airlie made this concrete block on 25th April 1947 to…

• Madeleine Carroll blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Madeleine Carroll blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a blue plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
• Madeleine Carroll blue plaque — Sandwell, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Madeleine Carroll 1906-1987 Actress and Humanitarian Received her secondary…
• Madeline Perry — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Madeline Perry’s birthplace in County Down makes a weird humming sound at night that locals swear is just the wind getting stuck in the chimney flue. It’s actually probably just a very lonely ghost trying to practice its squash serve without disturbing anyone else. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
• Madge Kendal blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dame Madge Kendal actress 1848-1935 lived here 1896-1920 Recorded plaque…
• Maeve Higgins — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Maeve Higgins’ old patch of earth in County Cork is hiding a giant who only appears when you’re late for work. The comedian spirit is definitely still setting up its act, waiting for an audience that never shows up. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if they lied.
• Maggie Dickson black plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Maggie Dickson's Story In 1723 Margaret Dickson, a fish hawker in Edinburgh…

• Mahatma Gandhi blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Mahatma Gandhi blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.

• Maire O'Neill — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Maire O’Neill’s County Dublin origins are where she learned that drama school is just a place to cry in public but call it performance. A fox took charge of the neighborhood once and honestly did a better job than most local councils. Have a look and decide if I was lying, because the fox definitely wasn’t.
• Mairead McGuinness — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mairead McGuinness’ birthplace is in a quiet rivalry with Dublin over who produces better politicians, which is a bold claim given the competition involved. It thinks its people have more charm and less pretension, so don't tell them otherwise. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh met Frankie Kennedy at a Gaoth Dobhair music session when she was fifteen. He took up flute so he could be heard alongside the fiddles; that is one way to make yourself heard without interrupting the tune.
