London’s Square Mile – also known as the City of London – is both well-known and
little known. Millions pass through or work within its winding alleyways and cobbled
passages but few are truly aware of its vast power and significance. The City is a
self-contained kingdom at the core of global finance, one so important it boasts its
own Lord Mayor and police force. Its history is rich and complex with repercussions
that are all too real today. Together with text written by world-renowned historian
David Kynaston, these ethereal photographs of people captured amongst imposing
architecture begin to decode one of the most influential and cryptic parts of the
capital.
