The Annals of London by John Richardson

The Annals of London by John Richardson

This work tells the story of London, from its earliest beginnings as a Roman settlement in AD 43 through its expansion under the Vikings and the Anglo Saxons until 1990. From AD 43 to 1065 the information is presented in essay form and from 1065 until it takes the form of annual entries. Topics covered include the consecration of Edward the Confessor's abbey at Westminster and the execution of King Charles I outside Inigo Jones' banqueting house.

John Richardson has a long interest in London's history and in 1995 he published a social history of London entitled London and its People. He has written histories of Covent Garden, Camden Town, Hampstead, Islington, Highgate and Kentish Town. He was also instrumental in helping to found the London Arts Board.
