This comprehensive, prize-winning guide introduces the reader, whether visitor or resident, to the unparalleled visual wealth and historical interest contained in London art and architecture. Ann Saunders' lively style, enthusiasm and narrative gift bring her topographical survey to life, enriching it with historical information and with details of the people who built and lived in London. One of the book's great strengths is its thorough and sympathetic treatment of London's suburbs, with their little-known wealth of old village centres, medieval churches and fine houses. A great city deserves to be celebrated and this book does its subject proud.
