RESTORATION LONDON: From Poverty to Pets, From Medicine to Magic, From Slang to Sex, from Wallpaper to Women's Rights by Liza Picard (If you want to write a book set in Restoration London, I'd highly recommend this one.)

WOMEN ACCORDING TO MEN: The World of Tudor-Stuart Women by Suzanne W. Hull

A CITY FULL OF PEOPLE: Men and Women of London 1650-1750 by Peter Earle (lots of post-it notes, so much used)
