Edward Windsor chooses Tower Hill and the Pool of London as his starting point for the series, and tells us why this is where the story of London really began. Travelling east on a River Police launch we learn about the origins of the force, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1998. See the glories of Greenwich, the Isle of Dogs and return for an insiders guide to the Tower of London.
