This course provides an opportunity to study cities and urban communities in comparative perspective, focusing on the history of London and English cities from the middle ages to the present day; students are introduced to key historical approaches, sources and methods, and learn to apply them to the study of interconnected themes in metropolitan and urban history; the course is interdisciplinary and importance is placed on the use of architecture, archaeology, material culture and literature as important sources for the study of localities; field trips and museum visits form a key part of the programme.
