Synopsis
From Sir Christopher Wren's churches to the Victorian Byzantine of Westminster Cathedral to the Roman city wall of St. Pancras station: London boasts an array of impressive buildings from several different periods. And, every one worth seeing is right here in these pages, with over 950 illustrated entries, 16 street-finder maps showing the exact location of every referenced structure, and more than 1000 photographs, drawings, and time charts. A general introduction outlines the history of London's architecture from Roman times, and there's background for each individual area, as well. All entries appear in chronological order within their geographical sections, and special features include a series of plans showing the development of the London squares. A unique sourcebook, written by two architects.

Review
Jones and Woodward walk their way through the grand and the humble and whether critical of full of admiration, they present the best and worst of the city's buildings. * GOOD BOOK GUIDE 1.10.09 * unsurpassed for its sound judgement and pitchy commentaries... comprehensive and authoritative too... a few quirky surprises... At presnt no degree of digital interaction can compete with the rich mix of words, images and plans that make up this guide and, while we still have bookshelves, it should take pride of place. * ARCHITECTURE TODAY - 1.09.09 * scholarly, informative and oftten slyly funny, as well as being more user-friendly than the bulky volumes of Pevsner. I can't reccommend it highly enough -- Rupert Christiansen * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH - 28.09.09 * Architects Edward Jones and Christopher Woodward have updated their extensive 1983 guide... the frequent and well-sized maps allow you to navigate easily and explore the well-described buildings. * ARCHITECT'S JOURNAL - 17.09.09 *
