The City of London is the heart of the capital. The oldest part of London, its ancient relics include a Roman temple and the London Stone (a landmark since at least 1100 AD). It is the only city mentioned in the Magna Carta – signed 800 years ago and on display in the City today – and its 'ancient liberties' and traditions are utterly unique. World-famous landmarks such as St Paul's, the Bank of England, the Old Bailey and the Royal Exchange stand beside some of the most cutting- edge architecture in the world, including the Gherkin and 'the Cheesegrater'.

With 100 stunning illustrations and 200 events – from the Great Fire of London to Sir Winston Churchill's funeral and the day an elephant arrived at the Tower – it offers a delightful, richly illustrated tour through 2,000 years of extraordinary history.
