This course will take the key essentials and historic landmarks of the growth of London from one to two cities, and then into a world city of millions. The prime aim is to understand the direct legacy which we have inherited today, and literally know where and why the place in which you stand is all created by an evolution stretching back two thousand years, in which the life of London and Londoners has developed. (NB. when reference is made to the City with a capital letter, it is the City of London.)
The river has been the lifeblood of London throughout its history. From 1800 to 1960 the evolution of Docklands made this the largest docks in the world. The British Empire was at its greatest and world trade was at the heart of London making it the first city of the world. The monumental structures and the daily life of rivermen will be the theme of this lecture.
