City of London Timeline
English
By (author): Sara Pink
The City of London is the heart of the capital. The oldest part of London, its ancient relics include a Roman Amphitheatre and the remains of the Citys Roman wall. It is the only city mentioned in the Magna Carta signed 800 years ago and its ancient liberties and traditions are unique. World-famous landmarks such as St Pauls, the Monument, 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 ranging from the Great Fire of London to the day an elephant arrived at the Tower, and culminating in Her Majesty The Queens 90th birthday celebrations it offers a delightful, richly illustrated tour through 2,000 years of extraordinary history.
