Talk by Edmund Bird – How London’s transport shaped our capital.
Edmund will talk about the history of the city’s transport development from the Romans to the present day.
The growth and development of London was influenced by modes of transport from the first river crossings and various vehicles used through the years to travel in the motor car. His presentation will include a feature about the evolution of Clapham’s transport networks and how they were the catalyst for its expansion.
