The book traces London's history from the earliest evidence of human settlement over 40,000 years up to the end of the millennium.

Customer Reviews

The London story we have been waiting for
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.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
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!
