London cover

Colourful photographic guide to London from its buildings to its streetlife

London celebrates the British capital, from its famous landmarks to atmospheric alleyways, from the Shard to London Underground’s lost ghost stations, from the parks to the Thames.
Presented with captions explaining the story behind each entry, London is a stunning collection of images celebrating the world’s most interesting city.

When you think of London, what do you see? The Houses of Parliament? The bustle around Piccadilly Circus? Elegant Victorian streets and squares? The Tate Modern? Or even Camden Market? With London, there are so many different aspects to the city.
In more than 200 striking images, London celebrates the British capital, from its famous landmarks to atmospheric alleyways, from the top of the Shard to London Underground’s lost ghost stations, from the parks to the canals to the Thames. Exploring both the history and modernity of the city, the book reveals the city’s legacy as a capital and a trading hub, but also looks at how the contemporary city lives and breathes as a multi-ethnic metropolis.
Presented in a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, London is a stunning collection of images celebrating the world’s most interesting city.
