Review of 'London' on 'Goodreads'

I gave up about 120 pages in. A somewhat interesting, chronological summary of the early origins of the city gives way to a more anecdotal style that loses focus, though the author's interest comes through. Someone more familiar with the streets and neighbourhoods of London might enjoy the book more.
