Thus far I have attempted to give a general idea of "Modern Babylon," and what is most worth seeing in it, but now the subject must perforce be brought to a close.

It has been said we can never hope to know all there is to tell about this, the most interesting city on earth, because its area is so vast, its life so complex, and its aspects so inexhaustibly varied, that it would require an Encyclopaedia to do it justice!

If, in Imperial London, I have succeeded in adequately epitomizing so gigantic a subject, giving useful information and correct topographic data in a fashion that has not wearied the reader, my labours will not have been in vain.

Arthur Henry Beavan, 1901
