On their original publication, the four volumes of 'The Making of Modern London' were hailed as riveting histories of the city, combining living memory with diligent historical research. Now woven into one volue, this book picks up the story in 1815, when London was the gas-lit, horse-drawn city of Charles Dickens' day.
