Can You Guess Who These Erased Blue Plaques Are For?

We've taken some classic London Blue Plaques, and erased the names. Can you work out who each one is remembering? Each dash lines up with the correct amount of letters in their names. We've also given you the location of the plaque.

Answers are down at the bottom.

Good luck.
