Summary:London in the 1540s was an unassuming hub of the wool and cloth trade with a population of around 75,000, still trying to recover from the onslaught of the Black Plague. But by 1700 London's population had reached a staggering 575,000 - and it had developed its first global corporations, as well as relationships with non-European societies outside the Mediterranean. What happened in the span of a century and a half? And how exactly did London transform itself into a global city?
