‘London The Biography is perhaps the most important study of the city ever written, and confirms Ackroyd’s status as what one critic has called ‘our age’s greatest London imagination.’
Available in CSM UAL Library as a series of e-books, read by actor Simon Callow, under sections such as: ‘Street Life & the People’, ‘Foundations’, ‘Trade & Enterprise’, ‘Districts & Suburbs’, ‘Fire & Pestilence’.
