This comprehensive overview of London's buildings encompasses the entire history of the city's architecture, from the time of the Romans to the twenty-first century. The book traces the many factors that have influenced the work of architects and builders over the centuries and examines virtually every kind of building, from palaces to terraced houses, shops to railway stations, and bridges to churches. Extensively illustrated, the book will delight readers with a particular interest in London and its architecture as well as those who are curious about metropolitan architecture in general. Setting the city's architecture in various contexts, the book delves into such intriguing topics as the impact of the Thames River on surrounding buildings, how the Great Fire of 1666 affected the rebuilding of churches, why air pollution and weather led to a cold official style of architecture, the arrival in the 1920s of major foreign architects, Prince Charles' 'vision of Britain', and whether London architecture can be said to have a distinct character.
