- Summary
- "The "London encyclopaedia" is the most comprehensive book on London ever published. It records, in a single volume the history of its institutions, streets and buildings, people and events, embracing not only the Cities of London and Westminster but all the boroughs, towns and villages that now come within the 610 square miles of Greater London ... The account of streets and buildings and events is also the story of the people who have lived in or through them, so that interspersed between the facts and dates there spring to life the men and women whose wit and wisdom, triumph or tragedy, transcends the sequence of events and reminds us of London past and of the spirit of their age ..." -- Inside front cover.
