Reader notes

A Bit Confusing

This book covers all of London history from the Romans to the Dockland development in 200 pages. So it isnt surprising that it was sometimes hard to follow. Matters were not helped by the fact that the author chose a hybrid theme/chronological narrative structure which succeeded in completely confusing me on when certain things occured. I would have liked more stories of renowned events and people. But the sections at the end on specific locations like the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey were quite interesting.
