London is a city full of museums and sights, and this DVD reveals the city as a living, breathing, and constantly evolving museum in its own right. Wheather viewing the faces in the National Portrait Gallery, gazing at the neo-gothic splendor of the Houses of Parliament, enjoying the bustle of Fleet Street, or floating down the Thames, this film showcases London, one of the world's elite cities through the historic lens of its influential past.
