A group of fictional families carries the story of London from its prehistoric river settlement to the twentieth century. Successive generations experience Roman rule, Saxon and Viking conflict, the Norman Conquest, medieval commerce, Tudor religious change, plague, fire, industrial expansion and wartime bombing. The city itself provides the continuity as wealth, class, faith and neighbourhood repeatedly alter the lives of its inhabitants.
