Synopsis

Excerpt from Unknown London

The City is the kernel of London, the sole depository of its history for centuries, when, in fact, it was London, the rest being fields. Foot for foot, it offers more of interest to the man or woman of British race than any other equal area in the world.

Présentation de l'éditeur

London has in its keeping, such as the Domesday Book (can you tell me off-hand where it is to be seen ?) ;with the Confessor s Shrine (of the crowds who enter Westminster Abbey there is a big leaven who do not even know that it is there) ;with the massive fragments of London s Roman Wall that still survive; with that spot in Smithfield where martyrs burnt and English history was made ;with the Duke of Suffolk shead and its dramatic story; with our Roman baths; with London Stone and odd others things familiar as household words and as much apart from the average Londoner slife as are the Pyramids of Egypt.
