In spite of wartime damage & postwar planning, so many of the buildings that characterise London still remain.

Ranging from Somerset House to the Serpentine, Smithfield Market to Selfridges, Michael Foley leads us on a tour of London`s most popular landmarks. He shows us that while much of the city is transformed decade-by-decade, London is rooted in its most persistent features. While White City would be unrecognisable to a time-travelling Edwardian, the great memorials, palaces & churches are definitive
- & a century is nothing to the houses on Fleet Street that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Obvious patterns emerge
- while the traffic on the streets is increasingly relentless, the Thames, once clogged with trading ships, now tends towards the empty. & although the speed of new building work has only accelerated over the years, the twenty-first century pedestrian has a much greener
- & arguably safer
- journey ahead of her than those Edwardian predecessors. London Through Time is the ideal companion for a leisurely ramble around one of the most diverse, most venerated cities on Earth.
