LL,
I am currently reading this book. I haven't read too much yet although from what I can tell so far it is an excellent book. It is recommended by many people. It is also very comprehensive.
I read the review for that book in The FT. It looks like a great paean to the world's top city!
PS: Dr. Johnson would have loved this English muffin!

I'm a Yank -- though I wish I had a UK passport (and Nigella).
Judging from your comment; I'd say your might even be a 'septic yank'. (LOL)
