Résumé

London's Contemporary Architecture: A Visitor's Guide is a practical and highly-illustrated guide to the best modern buildings in the British capital. In full colour throughout, this map-based book contains pithy and fascinating comments, plus lavish illustrations, of more than 130 examples of London architectural projects from the last two decades.

This third edition is completely up-to-date with the best and most interesting architecture of London, from the early 1980s right up to the first years of a new millennium for the city. As the book is logically arranged by geographical area, the reader is led on a physical and intellectual tour. This book directs the architectural enthusiast, professional or amateur, to the sites most worth visiting, and provides the essential background information for architectural appreciation. This includes references to the most significant and enjoyable of London's other architecture, of all periods.
