| | Starting with the London & Greenwich, the capital's first railway, and working clockwise around London, this much expanded edition of London's Local Railways deals with the history of forty-eight lines around the capital, some of which are no longer in use and others which have greatly changed in character over the years. The author's extensive knowledge of London's railways and research in social history are combined to provide a fascinating story for each of the four main geographical divisions, aided by around 250 photographs and sixteen maps.
