Reading The Past: What's So Special About The City Of London Historically?

*"Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew
Wanted to know what the River knew;
Twenty Bridges or twenty-two,
For they were young, and the Thames was old
And this is the tale that River told.

I walk my beat before London Town.
Five hours up and seven down.
Up I go till I end my run
At Tide-end-Town,
which is Teddington."
