Review:
"The greatest endeavour of popular architectural scholarship in the world." -- Jonathan Meades, The Observer, 25th November 2001.
Synopsis:
This volume gives a view of London's expansion northward from formal Georgian squares, to the hill towns of Hampstead and Highgate, from the regenerated industrial areas of Shoreditch and Clerkenwell to the little-known rural enclaves in Barnet and Enfield. The British museum, the new British Library and St Pancras Station appear beside a fascinating range of lesser buildings which give character to London's many distinctive villages.
