Matching archive photos with their modern viewpoint, London Then
and Now gives a fascinating insight into the history of Europe's
financial capital. London has changed rapidly in the last 150

and the stately Royal Naval College at Greenwich. Sites include:
Hampton Court Palace, Kew Gardens, Hammersmith Bridge (Boat Race),
