Unlike New York, London grew from a swamp and its structure was
moulded by the rivers that fed it. Over millennia, history has
accreted in layer after layer as generations built atop the
works of their ancestors. Descending into the caverns, buried
rivers, sewers, subways, and infrastructure reveals the deep
history, architecture and engineering, and legends of a great
city.
