This is the first time that the history of London’s faiths and beliefs has been recounted. This is a readable history for those who enjoy exploring the world about them, coming to understand other Gods, and the ways in which belief and prayer can differ. It will appeal to those interested in how historical development can alter the lives of a people and how religious affiliation changes history. From earliest times, when the Romans built their temple to Mithras, the story follows religious changes in London.
