Download or read book The London Problem written by Jack Brown and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brown reflects on anti-London sentiment in the UK as the capital continues to gain power. The United Kingdom has never had an easy relationship with its capital. By far the wealthiest and most populous city in the country, London is the political, financial, and cultural center of the UK, responsible for almost a quarter of the national economic output. But the city’s insatiable growth and perceived political dominance have gravely concerned national leaders for hundreds of years. This perception of London as a problem has only increased as the city becomes busier, dirtier, and more powerful. The recent resurgence in anti-London sentiment and plans to redirect power away from the capital should not be a surprise in a nation still feeling the effects of austerity. Published on the eve of the delayed mayoral elections and in the wake of the greatest financial downturn in generations, The London Problem asks whether it is fair to see the capital’s relentless growth and its stranglehold of commerce and culture as smothering the United Kingdom’s other cities, or whether as a global megacity it makes an undervalued contribution to Britain’s economic and cultural standing.

Download or read book Walking Pepys's London written by Jacky Colliss Harvey and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brings to life the world of Samuel Pepys with five walks through London. Samuel Pepys, the seventeenth century's best-known diarist, walked around London for miles, chronicling these walks in his diary. He made the two-and-a-half-mile trek to Whitehall from his house near the Tower of London on an almost daily basis. These streets, where many of his professional conversations took place while walking, became for him an alternative to his office. With Walking Pepys’s London, we come to know life in London from the pavement up and see its streets from the perspective of this renowned diarist. The city was a key character in Pepys’s life, and this book draws parallels between his experience of seventeenth-century London and the lives of Londoners today. Bringing together geography, biography, and history, Jacky Colliss Harvey reconstructs the sensory and emotional experience of Pepys’s time. Full of fascinating details, Walking Pepys’s London is a sensitive exploration into the places that made the greatest English diarist of all time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of London: Exhibiting the Most Rare and Remarkable Objects of Interest in the Metropolis; With Nearly Sixty Years' Personal Recollections The Birthplaces and Abodes Of eminent Londoners are so many hal lowed sites to those who love to cherish the memories of great men. The palace-prison of the Tower bears upon its very walls an index to most stirring events in our history. The Civic Halls Of London are stored with memorials Of past ages illustrating curious glimpses of manners and artistic skill in their Pictures, Plate, and Painted Glass. TO trace the growth Of great centres of population, from the village in the fields to a city of palaces, part of the Great Town itself, leads us through many vivid contrasts of life and manners - from the times when Southwark was a Roman suburb Lambeth and Chelsea were Saxon villages; Westminster was a Thorny Island; St. Marylebone, a hamlet on the brook; St. Panoras, in the fields; and Finsbury, a swampy moor all lying around the focus of Roman civilization, the City itself.
