The City of London is the heart of the capital. The oldest part of London, its ancient relics include a Roman Amphitheatre and the remains of the City s Roman wall. It is the only city mentioned in the Magna Carta signed 800 years ago and its ancient liberties and traditions are unique. World-famous landmarks such as St Paul s, the Monument, the Bank of England, the Old Bailey and the Royal Exchange stand beside some of the most cutting-edge architecture in the world including the Gherkin and the Cheesegrater .

With 100 stunning illustrations and 200 events ranging from the Great Fire of London to the day an elephant arrived at the Tower, and culminating in Her Majesty The Queen s 90th birthday celebrations it offers a delightful, richly illustrated tour through 2,000 years of extraordinary history.
