The London Stone appears in several chapters, as a way of tying together the different eras portrayed. Rutherfurd supposes that the stone was placed in front of the Roman Governor's Palace (probably true!) and served as the milepost from which all roads' mileposts are measured (interesting theory but unproven!).

Good book, if you're a fan of the James Michner-style of writing, covering many time periods through the families that live there.
