=== Vroeë lewe en opleiding ===
Peter Ackroyd is as enkelkind in Londen gebore en het sy kinder- en jeugjare in 'n munisipale behuisingsblok in die stadsdeel East Acton deurgebring. Nadat sy vader die gesin verlaat het toe Peter nog 'n baba was, is hy deur sy moeder en grootmoeder grootgemaak in wat hy later as 'n "streng" [[Rooms-Katolieke Kerk|Rooms-Katolieke]] huishouding sou beskryf.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01hw633 ''BBC Radio 4: Desert Island Discs - Peter Ackroyd. Besoek op 21 Mei 2017'']</ref> Dit was sy grootmoeder wat saam met hom die strate van Londen verken en sodoende sy groot liefde en belangstelling vir die Britse hoofstad gewek het.
