London: a settlement founded by the Romans, occupied by the Saxons, conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Normans. This unremarkable place - not even included in the Domesday Book - became a medieval maze of alleys and courtyards, later to be chequered with grand estates of Georgian splendour. It swelled with industry and became the centre of the largest empire in history. And rising from the rubble of the Blitz, it is now one of the greatest cities in the world.

Great general overview of London
Revisado: 01-10-20
This book was, as evidenced by the title, a very brief overview of London’s vast and remarkable history. If you’re looking for depth and instructional learning on any one period of London’s history, this is not the book. However, if you want a quick read and one that will give you plenty of impressive historical vignettes to bring up at dinner with clients or friends, I would highly recommend Simon Jenkins work.
