The Times History of London is a truly superb book. I bought it and could not put it down. Each page takes you on a voyage of discovery and tells you things you never knew about the history and social development of this amazing capital city. Absolutely brilliant 10 out of 10, a real MUST HAVE title!

Not just history, but the importance of London's geography in its growth as the leading world city.
Up until now there has been a lack of a good synopsis of London's past.
And a great coffee table book to pick up and browse.
