1000 oversized pages that, I swear, get longer as the book progresses. I read half in Dec 2019 when I was able to visit London. Picked it up again Dec 2020 and finally finished. As a review - it‘s incredibly detailed And thorough. Fascinating throughout, but the interesting bits get more sparse as it goes forward and spends more time on regional government, housing and roads. Also, I‘m sad how much inner London lost during and _after_ WWII.
