The book that introduced me to Peter Ackroyd as an author. I have to admit that the book takes quite a while to get through, especially if you do not have the time to dedicate to reading just the one book. I really enjoy how thorough he is going from age to age on how London developed. I do recommend reading the book, but a number of pages can be daunting. I had it for a year before I felt I was up to tackling it.
