Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Includes the following Preface / Part History / Part 2: Aspects of the City / Index. The City of London is a square mile, or to be precise 675 acres, at the centre of England's capital. Its boundaries run from the Temple in the west to the Tower in the East and from the Thames northwards to the Barbican. Like Kensington, Westminister or Chelsea, it is an area with a very individual character. Yet there is something special about the City of London (or 'the City' as it is usually known), a combination of history and function that marks it out from London's other communities. (Preface)
