About this product

Product Information

Over the past 2000 years London has developed from a small town, fitting snugly within its walls, into one of the world's largest and most dynamic cities. This book illustrates and helps to explain the transformation. Side-by-side with the great, semi-official but sanitised images of the whole city, there are the more utilitarian maps and plans of the parts - actual and envisaged - which perhaps present a more truthful picture. But the maps and panoramas are far more than topographical records. They all have something unique to say about them concerns, assumptions, ambitions and prejudices of Londoners at the time when they were created. The book reveals the 'inside story' behind one of the world's greatest cities.

Well presented with an attractive cover
For someone who loves London and appreciates the huge amount of history that has gone on within this City this book is must have. It shows the first crude maps drawn with loads of information about the people and events that shaped what has become a beautiful and multilayered place. How the River Thames has helped it to evolve. Beautifully presented this book is a great addition to my collection.
