註釋The City of London, a one square mile area, was the original London & lies nestled within the greater metropolis. LONDON'S CITY is an extraordinary reference & travel guide that brings the City to life in all its legendary history. Many visitors to London, & even its natives, know very little of the secrets hidden in this absorbing enclave. Neville Burston, Vice Chairman of the City of London Magistrates was captivated with LONDON'S CITY: "What an excellent & comprehensive production. I am not only enjoying its contents to the full but also learning a lot about the City I thought I knew!" LONDON'S CITY is not a typical travel guide, but a reference to the City's history, architecture & culture. Over 160 sites spanning more than 1,000 years of history are visited. Painstaking research has revealed not only events, but also their influence on the everyday lives of Londoners. Jack Evans, Historian, comments, "...a fascinating read for history buffs - an indispensable guide...adds life's blood to the historical names." Ten detailed, easy-to-follow maps, with the locations of each site clearly marked, guide the visitor through a fascinating adventure. A must for anyone wishing to understand London.
