London: Portrait of a City with William Tyler

London has been our most important city since Roman times. We shall trace the story of this great city from that moment through to the present day. We shall take an overview of this long history whilst also focussing in on specific events in that story, such as the city's development in The Middle Ages as an economic powerhouse, and the development of local government in the same period. Later we shall see the role of the city in The Civil War of the 1640s, and the development of banking. More modern times will see the rise of and decline of The London Docks and London during the Blitz. Along the way we shall meet a rich galaxy of characters and personalities.

We only have 3 places for this course 9-11 December 2011 - to enquire about booking call 033 3456 8580
