Publisher's Synopsis
This is a photographic study aiming to capture the flavour of modern London in pictures and words. The emphasis is on architecture and townscape, but it tries to avoid stereotyped views and takes in some less familiar facets of the capital.;While Westminster Abbey, St Pauls and Buckingham Palace are included, the illustrations also show Camden Lock, Battersea, docklands, mosques, red buses, canals and pavement cafes, industrial buildings, gardens and modern architecture, while 26 prints, reproductions and old photographs give a glimpse of London's complicated past.;David Pearce is the author of "London's Mansions", while Derek Forss is an established topographical photographer.
