The story of London is the one of how a muddy estuary on a rainy island in a remote corner of northern Europe gave birth to the greatest city in the world. Using state-of-the-art computer-generated images, dramatic reconstruction and stunning photography, this tells the graphic and moving story of Britain's capital from its early days as a buzzing Roman settlement, through to the dark days of the Blitz and its current rebirth as one of the world's most vivid cultural and financial centres.
