Book

This panoramic history, from Londinium to Livingstone, reveals London in all its political diversity - seat of monarchy, stage of ceremonial, magnet for talent, crucible of thought and arena of conflict for rebels, rioters, strikers, suffragettes, Fenians, Fascists, trade-unionists and terrorists.

Spreading beyond the ancient City as the capital of a nation and empire, London s own local government long failed to keep pace with the needs of its people, while yet nurturing campaigns and crusades which transformed the landscape of politics.
