Summary: Good introduction to a great city
Comment: First-time and frequent visitors to London should find something heretofore unknown in the pages of this copiously illustrated book. The history and current status of the various distinctive geographical and cultural aspects of the city are dealt with. Especially interesting is the section on development during Roman times, which is illustrated with simple maps showing how the city grew from a crude peasant settlement by a river into today's sprawl. The book's sections stand alone and can be read in order of interest. This is not a travel guide listing hotel, restaurants, and places of entertainment, but it should make anyone want to visit.
