ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT,
By
This review is from: The Times History of London: An Outstanding Illustrated Survey of One of the World's Greatest Cities (Hardcover)
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!

The London story we have been waiting for,
By
This review is from: The Times History of London (Times (Times Books)) (Hardcover)
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.
