Migrant City: A New History of London.

The author does not take a simple chronological route, rather he employs a thematic narrative which allows him to explore the many aspects of immigrant life and their impact on London and Londoners. The writing style is very accessible and accordingly one which will appeal to a non-academic readership eager to gain an insight into London's history from the perspective of immigrant arrival, settlement and progression. Written by the son of Greek Cypriot immigrants, this book provides an impressive and detailed overview of the arrival and settlement of immigrants in London over the centuries.
