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

He spends a year travelling from London to the Lake District, observing the people & places of England today & noting the mood of the English nation at the end of the millennium. It is also a journey into his own life, as he recalls incidents & people from his past. Davies is impressed by a sense of light & optimism encouraged by the many Lottery projects nearing completion, such as the Lowry Centre in Salford & the 2500 miles of public pathways being created by Sustrans.
