As English author Samuel Johnson once said: 'By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.'It
is a view captured gloriously in a new book which charts the history of
the capital from the 19th century to the present day in a series of
iconic images.Constantly
evolving, yet always unmistakeably London, the pictures take the reader
on a journey through the capital's changing landscapes from the taverns
of the Victorian era to the Houses of Parliament, the psychedelia of The
Beatles to the new romanticism of the 80s and beyond.They feature in London:
Portrait Of A City, published by Taschen, which describes the book as a
tribute to the 'bulldog spirit of the people that have stayed constant'
throughout that time.
Here is a selection of photographs that appear in the fascinating book.

Dapper chaps: This picture of recruiting
sergeants outside the Mitre & Dove in King Street, London, in 1877

Tower Bridge on June 30, 1894 at a ceremony led by the then Prince of
Wales, the future King Edward VII, and his wife, The Princess of Wales

new book, London: Portrait Of A City, is a tribute to the 'bulldog
spirit' of the capital's inhabitants

The white stuff: A milk bar in Bear Street,
central London c.1936. Milk bars grew in popularity during the 1930s,
