History of London

A brief introduction to the complicated evolution of the historic city of London. Here, Peter Murray - Co-Founder of NLA (New London Architecture) - explains the development of the capital, from its inception 2,000 years ago with the Roman settlement on the Thames to its role as a major trading city and establishment of seat of British government, and discusses particular challenges it has faced, including the Great Fire of 1666, the onslaught of the Blitz in World War II, and the expansion of the city.
