What is The house by the Thames : and the people who lived there about?

Just across the River Thames from St Pauls Cathedral stands an old and elegant house. Over the course of almost 450 years the dwelling on this site has witnessed many changes. From its windows, people have watched the ferrymen carry Londoners to and from Shakespeares Globe; they have gazed on the Great Fire; they have seen the countrified lanes of Londons marshy south bank give way to a network of wharves, workshops and tenementsand then seen these, too, become dust and empty air. Rich with anecdote and colour, this fascinating book breathes life into the forgotten inhabitants of the housethe prosperous traders; an early film star; even some of Londons numberless poor. In so doing it makes them stand for legions of others and for a whole world that we have lost through hundreds of years of Londons history.
