Sinossi

Thirty familiar but very carefully selected London sights are visited and sketched by designer Tim Gosling who brings to each a passion for history. The sights range from Wellington Arch to Temple Bar along with Buckingham Palace s private rooms and the Library at St Paul's Cathedral. Gosling and Emma Crichton-Miller reveal the twists and turns of each sight's often quirky history and go on to detail a, largely unknown, secret London. Accompanied by archival letters and ephemera and nearly 100 rare and unpublished images from the Getty archives.

Recensione

Time is luxury... Tim Gosling has followed his deep interest, exploring the heart and soul of London's historic buildings and monuments. Now the opportunity is before us to follow his trail in person. Meanwhile these places really stand in time waiting for me because my imagination knows so much about their creation and the lives of real people who lived in them. The book is a treasure and Tim's drawings reveal his love and fascination for them. --Vivienne Westwood
