In the nineteenth century London was the most important city in the world, the capital of an empire 'on which the sun never set.' This was the golden age of railway building and is reflected in the city's transport history and infrastructure. London has more main line termini then any other city and was the first to have an underground steam railway and to develop electric traction. London now has one of the largest underground railway systems in the world as well as a fascinating suburban network. London's Railways gives a unique insight into the history of the railways that criss-cross London. It was the railway that kept London fed and heated and it was the railway that brought the workers and raw materials to keep it running at all times of day and night. Railways have also helped form the London of today; they have helped create the suburbs, have made the centre unique and their architecture has dominated streetscapes both in central London and in the outlying towns and villages that have been swallowed by the urban growth. Illustrated with over 200 images, dating from 1850 to 1950, London's Railways brings the classic age of rail travel to life and demonstrates us just how much London was, and still is, dependent on the shimmering ribbons of steel that have penetrated both over and under the city from all directions.

On the eve of the railway age, London was the worlds largest and most populous city and one of the most congested. Traffic-clogged roads and tightly packed buildings meant that travel across the city was tortuous, time-consuming and unpleasant. Then came the railways. They transformed the city and set it on a course of extraordinary development that created the metropolis of the present day. This is story that David Wragg explores in his fascinating new book. He considers the impact of the railways on London and the Home Counties and analyzes the decisions taken by the railway companies, Parliament and local government. He also describes the disruptive effect of the railways which could not be built without massive upheaval. His study of the railway phenomenon will be thought-provoking reading for anyone who is keen to understand the citys expansion and the layout of the capital today.
