Secret Lost London

A city can be described by its inhabitants and the buildings and structures that surround them. But its history can become distorted and lost over time as the generations become old and die. Written records may be available and they help us to piece together what life was like throughout the last 2,000 years of London's history. And of course we have some buildings that have survived and they can help bring to life some of the stories from the past. But the fact is most of the solid evidence of what London was like as a geographical and urban city has gone - it has been lost to us forever. However the sites where they were located are still there and in a many instances there are relics and a few echoes from the past of what once stood there. This book has sought out some of the more unusual places that have made London what it is today. From small coffee houses that led to the London Stock Exchange and the Royal Academy to modern buildings that held a horrific past. It gives you the opportunity to uncover some of the tales that made London what it is today. But more than that, it lets you stand at the same spot where that history was made. You may never walk around and see London in the same way again.
