I’m travelling to London in the spring and was wondering if there were any good recommendations for books to read that will give me a good overview of some of the city’s history.
I have London by Edward Rutherford and Quicksilver by Neal Stevenson in my library (unread) already and am considering those, but wanted to see if there were other good options.
Historical fiction I think is the genre I would most prefer, but am also interested in fiction and lighter non-fiction.
Obviously London has a long long history so this is a rather broad request, but I’m open to most time periods, medieval to late Dickens/battle of Britain (maybe less interested in modern stuff)
