Summary "The River of London" by Hilaire Belloc is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significance of the Thames River in shaping London's history, commerce, and military strategy, revealing the deep connection between the city and its defining waterway. The opening of the book presents an introduction to the significance of the Thames, comparing it to other European rivers and establishing its unique role in London's existence. Belloc eloquently discusses the geographical importance of the Thames, describing how it has served as a strategic point for trade and connectivity throughout the centuries. He sets the stage for a deeper examination of the historical layers associated with the river, from its desolate early marshlands to its evolution into a bustling artery of commerce crucial to London's growth and identity.
