Description: Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural heritage. Private enterprise shaped it and defined its parts: elegant West End squares may hallmark the classical townscape, but medieval, Tudor, and Victorian enclaves identified by occupation or class make their own statement, notably in the City and East End. How to Read London reveals how London's domestic, civic, and commercial landscape has evolved and adapted from imperial capital to global city.
