Synopsis
Secret City investigates the City of London, the Corporation that runs it, and its role in the economic crisis. The history of London since its foundation by the Romans is recounted by Maurice Glasman, with contributions from London historians Clive Bloom, Lindsay German and John Rees. Robin Blackburn explains key aspects of the City’s economic history. We are taken on a tour of key City locations by an Occupy activist, Liam Taylor. David Joel of Kings Court Galleries presents the growth of London through historic maps. Doreen Massey considers the relationship of the City to the metropolis.
