London: A City Revealed

by Christopher Catling

This elegant, photo-laden volume celebrates the finest of London. Scores of photographs capture all that draws visitors to the city-the splendid architecture, the royal pageantry, the spacious parks, the vast selection of stylish shops and bustling markets, and nearly 2,000 years of history. Here is London in all its diversity-from the ancient remains of old Londinium at the Barbican to the ultra-modern growth of the Docklands, the naval heritage of Greenwich to the majesty of Windsor Castle. A book to revisit again and again.

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The photo are what make this book worth it. While the text is a bit dated it is still relevant enough to read and get a teaser of what to see and do beyond the bewildering array of information found in guidebooks. Super easy read and pretty short too.

A lavishly illustrated coffee table book.
