Stephen Inwood: Exploring Historic London
London’s 2,000 years of history seem to have been burned, bombed and bulldozed out of existence, but Stephen Inwood, author of Historic London: An Explorer’s Companion, shows how we can rediscover Roman, medieval and Tudor London, and find evidence of its later history in its shops, pubs, churches, houses, streets, alleys, parks and squares.
