London: 2000 Years of History
2000 years ago, London was an uninhabited swampy wasteland. Now it is one of largest, busiest and most inspiring cities on the planet. How did London transform into a vibrant metropolis? Historians Dan Jones, Suzannah Lipscomb and engineer Rob Bell, tell the glorious, and sometimes gory, story of the city’s meteoric rise to power to the thriving megacity we know today.
