Riassunto

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.
