Reviews
A journey through London's history from Roman times to the present day, this book provides fantastic opportunities for developing children's speaking and thinking skills. The book brings home, in a very simple way, how architecture and daily life have changed over the centuries. It is also sturdy and well-made so would withstand the ravages of life in the classroom or school library. * Junior Education Plus *

For younger readers there are lots of intriguing flaps and historical spreads in Usborne's Look Inside London.
