Our Managing Director Mike Bugsgang’s new book, Thames Tales Through Time, has been published on Amazon Books: https://amzn.eu/d/0eEkckOc

Thames Tales Through Time is a collection of eight short stories that provide a dramatic insight to the lives of people with a connection to the river. Power, betrayal, love, heroism, addiction, death, comedy and crime, all feature in the vignettes. Spanning the centuries, the reader is taken from the kidnapping of Queen Boudicca’s daughters in Roman Britain to the theft of antiquities from the muddy Thames foreshores in 2025.

The book is available in paperback or e-book formats.

Commenting on the new book Mike said: ‘During my tenure as Marketing Manager of the London Tourist Board, I developed campaigns to promote the River Thames as a mode of transport and for leisure activities. It was this work that proved the inspiration for the stories.’

Through the Worshipful Company of Marketors’ Outreach Programme, Mike Bugsgang produced a marketing plan including recommendations for website and social media enhancements for Dr Johnson’s House.
This small museum in a charming 300-year-old townhouse, is located off Fleet Street, nestled amongst a maze of courts and alleys in the historic City of London. Samuel Johnson, the writer and wit, lived and worked in the house in the middle of the eighteenth century, compiling his great Dictionary of the English Language in the Garret. Dr Johnson may be better known to some for his much quoted “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”
