Synopsis

In the strange world above Londoners' heads lives an equally strange assortment of creatures: monsters, murderers, dragons, camels, hippocamps, caryatids, grasshoppers, hop-pickers, beavers, and more. Their homes are revealed in London Above Eye Level. This witty photographic tour of London’s splendidly detailed facades and roofs can also be used as a quiz book to test one’s knowledge of the city. The locations and captions appear at the end of the book so as not to detract from the impact of the images.
