London: A Cultural History

Richard Tames describes how London has been chronicled, described, celebrated, named, and mapped over the twenty centuries of its existence to become a city treasured even by those who have never set foot in it as a byword for innovation and diversity. This book has been written for those
who, knowing London, know that it is too vast, too complex, too elusive ever to be fully known but yet would like to know it better still.
