The Story of London – From Roman River to Capital City

The story of a tiny settlement that grew up on a muddy river bank 2000 years ago to become one of the world`s greatest capital cities. Fully revised and updated for 2011, The Story of London features the famous people and dramatic events – battles, plagues, fires and bombings – that have shaped the city, as well as the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games. Also included are introductions to the most important social and cultural institutions that influence Londoners` lives. Facts, fun quizzes and cartoons are presented in such a way as to bring famous events to life and cut-away drawings reveal London`s greatest and best-known buildings, such as the Tower of London, Houses of Parliament and St Paul`s Cathedral.
