Format:Hardcover
This book, in fact this whole series, is outstanding. If you are interested in the architecture and history of a region, these books are just perfect. A detailed and concise description of every building of note in an area, telling you when it was built, the name of the architect, and much much more. It also includes any buildings that are imposing in some way, for example in their size (the Sainsbury's in Walthamstow High Street, the HSBC building on the Isle of Dogs, etc) making the interesting point that these buildings are as noteworthy, in the impact they have on our everyday lives, as a timber-framed Tudor house or an 11th century church.

A Great Companion
18 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
If you enjoy walking around London, this is a "must" book to have. Written in clear and concise language, the history of London's East End is made available to the reader by the unbelievable buildings that still survive. There's also attention paid to modern additions, such as the Docklands area. All in all, a great reference book that one rely on and build upon.
