Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural
heritage. Unlike Haussmann's Paris, neither monarch nor politician
imposed their will; private ownership and enterprise shaped the
city and defined its parts. Elegant West End squares and crescents
hallmark the Classical townscape that emerged between 1600 and
1830, but medieval, Tudor and Victorian enclaves identified by
occupation, class or guild make their own design statement, notably
in the City and East End. From its renewal after the Great Fire of
1666 as a centre of commerce, culture, finance and as a railway
hub, the seat of power and law, How to Read London reveals through
the built environment how London's domestic, civic and commercial
landscape has evolved and adapted from imperial capital to global
city.
