摘要

London is a very old and magnificent city - but its buildings are not that ancient. Massive urban development consumed the fields where city dwellers once took their pleasures. The railways sliced through ancient thoroughfares and demolished districts that had stood for hundreds of years. Many fabulous and remarkable buildings were simply removed because they were old. Now only a few glorious pockets of eighteenth century London remain. It would be a fool's errand to attempt to describe all that has been lost - indeed it would be impossible. Recently, I set out to trace the city's history for my new book, Lost London; my only aim being to amuse its readers by describing some of the buildings and streets, the jobs and habits, the markets, fairs and pastimes that have shaped London. You may be surprised to learn how many areas of the sprawling metropolis were, in fact, deeply rural until relatively recently!
