Review of current edition:
'Highly recommended is London's Contemporary Architecture: A Visitors Guide, by Victoria Thornton and Ken Allinson. Making the most of their experience running architecture tours the book is crammed with maps and colour pictures with clear explanations about the design of the buildings.'
Evening Standard
Review of the first edition:
'A joy to read.'
Urban Design Quarterly
This second edition is completely up-to-date, and in colour throughout. It covers the best and most interesting buildings completed in London during the period 1984-1998. It is one of the few books available that covers London buildings designed and completed since 1980. It covers over 130 buildings and is supported by 100-150 photographs, with numerous line diagrams and a useful map based format.
Ken Allinson and Victoria Thornton possess a unique familiarity with London's architecture. Victoria serves on the Arts Council's Architecture Committee and RIBA's National Awards Committee; she was formerly editor of RIBA's London Review and currently serves on the editorial board of the journal published by the Prince of Wales Institute. Ken is a practising architect, author of The Wild Card of Design and Getting There By Design, he is a member of the RIBA's Architecture Centre exhibition committee, and studio lecturer at Oxford Brookes and Greenwich Universities. Together they currently run Architectural Dialogue, a research consultancy operating in the interfaces between clients, professionals and lay-people. For over seventeen years they have been researching and managing architectural study visits in the centres of major architectural interest around the world. Being residents of London they are particularly knowledgeable about its architecture and architects, and have produced a map guide to contemporary London buildings.
