Livingstone's London cover

Ex-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone celebrates his home town

Mayor of London, MP for Brent and Leader of the GLC, Ken Livingstone with a witty and worldly eye takes a look at his home town; the people, places and the politics that have shaped the landscape.As a passionate Londoner, Ken Livingstone has seen London change dramatically over the last 60 years. From playing on bomb sites in an era where St Pauls was the tallest building in the city, to 2019 where the gleaming towers of the Shard and Walkie Talkie dominate the skyline, thanks to new building rules introduced by his administration. With a witty and worldly eye he takes a look at his home town; the people, places and the politics that have shaped the landscape. On this personal journey he shares his views on every aspect of the city from his favourite restaurants and most loved buildings to anecdotes on fellow politicians and the triumphs, and disasters, encountered running the largest metropolis in Europe.
