📱 eBook en inglés Lost London

UNCOVER LONDONS PAST, BROUGHT TO LIFE THROUGH ITS LOST AND FORGOTTEN TREASURES, LANDMARKS, CUSTOMS AND STORIES

London is a city steeped in history; a place where the past lingers in every shadow. More than 2,000 years in the making and covering 600 square miles, like any modern capital it reinvents itself on an almost perpetual basis, yet its almost impossible to walk its streets without finding a survivor from one of its previous incarnations. Besides fragments of Roman wall, intact Norman churches and even traces of the odd Saxon fish trap in the Thames, London still boasts working medieval markets, a handful of ancient timber-framed survivors of the Great Fire, and scores of streets and squares that grew out of early experiments in town planning.

Many of these treasures are enjoyed by visitors, but much has been lost over the intervening years. However, there are still clues as to what came before – old documents, fading photographs, curious street names – and Lost London will help you find them.
