Chaucer's London

I was very confused by this chapter. It began talking about the London Bridge and went into talking about the writer Geoffrey Chaucer. By the way, the fact that they would display the heads of people on the bridge is greatly disturbing. I can't imagine that it would be that lovely to be walking across the London Bridge accompanied by tons of human heads; this seems rather frightening.
The author of this book seems to really hate everything about modern London and loves everything about London's history. I don't quite understand how he is able to live in London with feelings such as these; especially since it's such a tourist heavy city. I hope his opinions get a little bit better about this things as the book goes on.
