About this book
Street by street, this volume walks the old City of London as it stood at the end of the nineteenth century, with the history of each spot worked into the commentary. Sir Walter Besant wrote most of it, with assistants gathering material on the companies, churches and buildings. Seven groups of streets are followed, along with the Tower of London, St. Paul's, the Temple and the ancient schools of the City.
Appendices cover the City Companies and list the mayors and sheriffs of London from 1189 to 1900. Published in 1910, it begins the topographical part of the Survey of London.
