Riassunto

Allowing us to travel mid-air through London, "High Above London" leads us to a thoroughly new appreciation of a city that has always been foremost in people's imagination. These splendid aerial photographs reveal a complex city of contrasts. An urban cluster without regular order, the city is actually a collection of villages that grew up around Roman Londinium, and today each has its own history, character, architecture, and even rhythm - and all are illustrated in the beautiful photographs. The sky offers a perfect vantage point to view and understand this city of contrasts with its cultural diversity and multi cultural nature.
