The content of the book is a rich blend of descriptive essays and pictorial representations, each illuminating different aspects of London. Meynell's essays encapsulate her observations on various subjects such as the climate of smoke, the beauty of its streets and parks, and the unique character of its riverside and marketplaces. The essays are interspersed with Hyde's stunning photogravures and etchings, showcasing scenes from the city, from the iconic landmarks like Westminster Abbey to more intimate portrayals of daily life in its back streets.
