Thirty familiar but very carefully selected London sights are visited and sketched by designer Tim Gosling who brings to each a passion for history. The sights range from Wellington Arch to Temple Bar along with Buckingham Palace s private rooms and the Library at St Paul's Cathedral. Gosling and Emma Crichton-Miller reveal the twists and turns of each sight's often quirky history and go on to detail a, largely unknown, secret London. Accompanied by archival letters and ephemera and nearly 100 rare and unpublished images from the Getty archives.

Tim Gosling is a graduate of the Central School of Art and Design with a background in theatre design and was a long-time director of Linley, before establishing Gosling where his bespoke furniture designs draw inspiration from classical architecture and styles. He brings his particular technique of sketching and his draughtsman's eye to London Secrets.
