This richly illustrated pictorial celebration of London's churches and cathedrals covers 47 of the best-known churches within Greater London, from Greenwich in the East to Kilburn in the North. The authoritative text details the evolution of architectural style and the role of the church over centuries of social change, documenting - in the process - the history of the city itself, and providing a sumptuous visual study of the churches' architectural riches - both inside and out. With over 200 stunning full-colour photographs, useful fact panels for each church, and a foreword by Andrew Lloyd Webber, this is the ultimate reference book to a perennially interesting subject.
