'The dazzling collection of photographs is universally appealing; whether you're a tourist, a ligeling Londoner, an architect enthusiast, or a history buff, don't miss your chance to view or buy his precious images. His work becomes more important when you appreciate that some of these buildings might not be here in the future. These aren't just images, they're also a slice of London's history.'

Reseña del editor:

Unseen London takes you backstage at some of the capital's great theatres, into the changing rooms of some of our greatest temples of sport, into the heart of the Establishment, the boiler room of the city's infrastructure and behind the scenes at some of the most opulent buildings in the Square Mile.
