First published in 1910 A.R Hope Moncrieff's account of London gives a fascinating insight to the lives and social habits of the time. He quotes many famous writers and poets of the day including Thackery and Dickens dramatically bringing the capital to life. The histories of the Strand, St Paul's and the City to the development of the Westend are entertainingly told and vividly illustrated throughout with charming pictures of the period. Many of the paintings were collected by royalty, and they all evoke a romantic view of London's past that is for the most part still recognizable. This book will appeal to both Londoners and tourist alike who are curious as to the origins of the World's greatest city, told from the perspective of nearly a 100 years ago.

It's absolutely fascinating as an armchair traveller's guidebook. Enough of London has survived the Blitz to make Moncrieff's walk through its streets recognizable, yet after over a century it's undeniably unfamiliar. Definitely worth the attention of anyone interested in this historical city. (
