About this title

Review:

This page-turner biography of the capital, full of amazing facts and anecdotes, a book that anyone wanting food for thought about social history or human nature will treasure (Claire Harman Evening Standard )

Sober yet incisive in his assessments, comprehensive in his coverage, and gimlet-eyes in his choice of detail, he offers an invigorating yet thoughtful tour through London's most extraordinary and bracing of centuries (Andrew Holgate Sunday Times )

It's hard to see how a more detailed and readable account of Defoe's "great and monstrous thing" could have been written (Euan Ferguson Time Out )

White tells his story not as a chronological narrative...but through a series of themes: city, people, work, culture, power. It's an enterprising way to marshal such detailed and fact-filled research...great thesis (Kate Chisholm Spectator )

Comprehensive, energetic study full of incisive details ( Sunday Times Culture )

Book Description:

The story of an extraordinary century in the history of London.
