London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant . This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. In addition to the wealth of images included in this book, many previously unpublished , London’s history is told through hundreds of quotations, lively essays, and references from key movies, books, and records . From Victorian London to the Swinging ’60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from royal weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves . Photographs by: Slim Aarons, Eve Arnold, David Bailey, Cecil Beaton, Bill Brandt, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Anton Corbijn, Terence Donovan, Roger Fenton, Bert Hardy, Evelyn Hofer, Frank Horvat, Tony Ray-Jones, Nadav Kander, Roger Mayne, Linda McCartney, Don McCullin, Norman Parkinson, Martin Parr, Rankin, Lord Snowdon, William Henry Fox Talbot, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Wolfgang Tillmans , and many, many others. Review: Cheerio - Beautiful. Loads of interesting facts about London. Great photos. Review: Great book to display after a trip to London - I bought this after visiting London and really like it. It’s a substantial size and looks great displayed on a bookshelf. It’s one of those books that works just as well as a decorative piece as it does something to flip through. A nice reminder of the city and I’m very happy with it. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,499 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Photography History #18 in City Photography #21 in England Travel Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 331 Reviews | ## Images ![London.
