Turnkey London

In this learned and personal tour through London's 2000-year life, A. N. Wilson takes us from the ghostly traces of Roman London, to the Norman city, to Chaucer's London, Tudor and Stuart London, the Industrial age, World Wars I and II (the six years of the latter being the city's finest hour), all the way to the present. In a style that blends chronology and the entertaining digression, we visit the Restoration, the Great Fire, the Royal Society, the South Sea Bubble, Hogarth, Dr. Johnson, the London square, the engineering triumphs of the Victorian age, architecture, men's clubs, and much much more. Wilson concludes with a tribute to 'London Cosmopolis' (the polyglot London which mobility and mass immigration have created), and 'Silly London' (the London of e.g. the Millennium Dome). Combining the idiosyncratic charm of Edmund's White's THE FLANEUR with the sweep of Peter Ackroyd's LONDON, this is a fitting companion to a world class city.

"In 1902, Jack London, posing as an out-of-work sailor, went underground into the belly of the beast: the slums of London's East End. With passion and vision, he used his skill as a journalist to expose the horrors of the Abyss to the world. Because of his ability to blend in with working people and put them at their ease, because he donned their clothing, and spent nights on the street --working odd jobs, sleeping in the homeless shelters--he gained an insight into the slum life which remains unique. By interweaving the personal stories of the people he encountered with political analysis, he produced a vibrant work of nonfiction, which remains relevant to this day. Consider the following: about one in five children in the US live in poverty. Poverty is war, and it rages on with no end in sight, and the management is still guilty of mismanaging the wealth. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the People of the Abyss are among us today." -- Tarnel Abbott, Great-granddaughter of Jack London, Contributing Editor, Jack London International (www.jack.london.org)Jack London was famous for his adventure stories, such as "White Fang" and "The Call of the Wild, " but he was also a skilled political writer and social critic. He led a varied and colorful life as a journalist, laborer, fisherman, gold-prospector and even a vagrant. Jack London came to the East End of London in 1902, and "The People of the Abyss" is the result of his investigative journalism that paints a vivid and disturbing portrait. It is both a literary masterpiece and a major sociological study. London posed as a stranded American sailor, sleeping in doss houses and living with the destitute and starving - the record of what he sawthere remains as powerful today as it was then. Published to coincide with the centenary of his visit to the East End, this important book is an incredible precursor to the writings of George Orwell, and remains a standard-bearer critique of capitalism.

London Labour and the London Poor - London Labour and the London Poor is an extraordinary work of Victorian journalism by Henry Mayhew. In the 1840's he observed, documented and described the state of working people in London for a series of articles in a newspaper, the Morning Chronicle.

Lord Mayor of London - The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of London is the Mayor of the City of London and head of the Corporation of London. The Lord Mayor of London is to be distinguished from the Mayor of London; the former is an officer only of the City of London, while the Mayor of London governs a much larger area known as Greater London.

Shard London Bridge - The Shard London Bridge — formerly known as London Bridge Tower and Shard of Glass — is a proposed skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano for a site in London, on the Southwark side of London Bridge, next to London Bridge station at 32 London Bridge Street. It would replace a twenty-four storey building, Southwark Towers, which was completed in 1976.
