London is a city full of museums and sights, and this Travel Documentary DVD reveals the city as a living, breathing, and constantly evolving museum in its own right. Whether 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 River Thames, this film showcases London, one of the world's elite cities through the historic lens of its influential past.

Where some programs offer a resourceful travel guide, and others a historic summary, this program combines the best of both elements to develop a modern travel guide steeped in history. Reflecting on the 2000 years of cultural and intellectual history of this unparalleled center of art, literature, architecture and monuments, this program serves as a wonderful and helpful foundation for first time travelers, as well as an instrumental resource in studying London's storied past and its unquestionable influence on Western Civilization.
