Peter Ackroyd portrays London from the time of the Druids to the beginning of the twenty first century, noting magnificence in both epochs, but this is not a simple chronological record. It is a comprehensive account, animated by Ackroyd's concern for the close relationship between the present and the past as well as by what he describes as the peculiar 'echoic' quality of London. Trade and Enterprise explores London as a centre for international trade, finance and culture. Integral topics covered include the river, banking, science and architecture.
