Two thousand years on the same bend of the same river. Wheatley takes London from the Roman wall through the Saxons, the Normans, the guilds, the plague and the fire, to the Georgian squares and the Victorian sprawl, and he knows the streets well enough to tell you exactly what stood where. Written by the man who had spent his life in London's records and could not be caught out.
