Unseen London Book Synopsis
His photographs of these buildings some derelict, but many still
working – are astonishing. Here is a collection of some 50 extraordinary
locations, with a thoughtful text by Mark Daly which tells the story of
how each of these places was created, how they are used, and what they
reveal about the currents of power flowing through the city.
Unseen London takes you backstage at some of the capital’s great
theatres, into the changing rooms of some of our greatest temples of
sport, into the heart of the Establishment, the boiler room of the
city’s infrastructure and behind the scenes at some of the most opulent
buildings in the Square Mile. Read online Unseen London book now.
Unseen London Book Review
This is such an elegant book with some really beautiful photographs
of some of London’s oldest and most stunning buildings. Although many
well known buildings are included the chance to see their inner workings
is fascinating. Importantly the book also delves into nooks and
crannies of places that are less well known, the sorts of places even
Londoners might know about but never gain access to. Accompanying the
images is some really thorough and engaging commentary, putting flesh
and backstory onto the images and giving real insight into what these
buildings are all about, how they work, who runs them and of course
their historical relevance both to London and the nation. Get online Unseen London today.
