From the medieval cobbles, through Dickensian iron and fog, to the
neon lights and bustle of the twenty-first century, the
ever-changing streets of London map out the vibrant stories,
triumphs and struggles of everyone who ever called London home.
From the Roman and Celts marching along the ancient Old Kent Road,
to the rattling newspaper presses of Fleet Street, the game of
Monopoly has painted London's story across cheerful coloured tiles.
But those Monopoly streets live and breathe - they don't just
illuminate our history. They open up whole new ways of thinking
about it. The mobs have taken to our streets. The overlords have
taken them back. Wars have spilled out into them. Lovers have snuck
around them, and fires have raged through them. In a city of rags
and riches, where folk hero Dick Whittington believed the streets
were paved with gold, anything could happen - and everything has.
You may think you know the history of London. You don't. Or at
least, not entirely. This is the story of the capital as you've
never, quite, heard it before.
