The streetscape of London's historic square mile has undergone a remarkable transformation over centuries, yet the bustling commercial heart of the city still boasts an extensive network of narrow passages, alleyways, secret squares, and half-hidden courtyards. Historian David Long, with his deep expertise in local history, takes you on a captivating journey through these ancient rights of passage, many of which date back to medieval times or even earlier. These evocative names, reminiscent of old taverns, notable individuals, and city traditions, shed light on the rich tapestry of London's past. While hidden behind the glass, steel, and stone of London's banks and big businesses, these survivors of modern development stand as silent witnesses to nearly 2,000 years of British history. Each passage and courtyard holds a unique story, waiting to be uncovered and appreciated by those who seek to explore the city's hidden treasures.
