This pocket history aims to bring London's past alive to the traveller, to reveal the city's hidden treasures and forgotton places and to guide the reader to the sites that can still be seen and enjoyed. The book gives the discerning visitor a full and comprehensive background to the capital's past and covers the period from London's first beginnings up to the present day - from "Londinium" to the development of Docklands. London has always been an international city, about which visitors from all over the world have often recorded their impressions. The author has drawn extensively on these commentaries for this book.
