London's Square Mile by Polly Braden
London's Square Mile - also known as the City of London - is both well-known and little known. Millions pass through or work within its winding alleyways and cobbled passages but few are truly aware of its vast power and significance. Together with text written by world-renowned historian David Kynaston, these ethereal photographs of people captured amongst imposing architecture begin to decode one of the most influential and cryptic parts of the capital.David Kynaston was born in the English town of Aldershot in 1951. Since 1973, he has worked as a professional historian and has published nineteen volumes, including The City of London, a four-volume history that has received critical praise, and WG's Birthday Party, an account of the Gentleman v. In July 1898, players competed at Lord's. He is the author of Austerity Britain, 1945-1951, Family Britain, 1951-1957, and Modernism Britain, 1957-1959, the first three books in the 'Stories of a New Jerusalem' trilogy, which covers the history of postwar Britain from 1945 to 1979. He is a visiting lecturer at Kingston University at the moment.
