Description:In 1901, London was the greatest city the world had seen in size, wealth and grandeur. Yet it was also a city where poverty and disease were rife.

He examines the changes to the worlds of work, transport, popular culture, politics and government and shows how London affects its inhabitants, shaping their lives and being shaped in turn by them.Beautifully illustrated and with a wealth of detail, this is a definitive and highly readable history of London in the twentieth century.Winner of the Wolfson History Prize.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
