Modern London isn't my strong suit so I appreciated the depth and scope of this history. It was easy to read, as others have mentioned, although the copious use of numerical info (populations, percentages, dates) tended to blur together. Porter's history was more enjoyable overall but this one is worth reading for a better understanding of London today.
