  The City of London is a jurisdiction whose relationship with the English monarchy has sometimes been turbulent. This book explores how architecture was used to renew and redefine a relationship essential to both parties in the wake of two momentous events: the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and the Great Fire six years later.
