London's historic financial district London's Square Mile - also known
as the City of London - is both well-known and little known. Millions
pass through or work within its winding alleyways and cobbled passages,

it boasts its own Lord Mayor and police force. Its history is rich and
complex with repercussions that are all too real today. Together with
text written by world-renowned historian David Kynaston, these ethereal
photographs of people captured amongst imposing architecture begin to
decode one of the most influential and cryptic parts of London.
