Product Description
This remarkable book presents a modern photographic panorama of the River Thames by Charles Craig, Graham Diprose and Mike Seaborne, alongside one created by the Port of London Authority in 1937. Thames Panorama is a fascinating study of how the twentieth century has changed the face of the Thames. First published in 1988 and updated for the Millennium, this book is again being brought up to date, a sign of how rapid the pace of change has been for London's river. And yet amid the sparkling new developments and brash architectural statements that have sprung up, a sense of continuity is apparent when the two panoramas, albeit separated by more than seventy years, are shown side by side.

Format:Hardcover
This is a truly excellent project - a specially made series of 2008 photos of noth and south banks of the Thames taken to match the 1937 series discovered in archives. It is a wonderful new way of seeing the total remake (creative destruction) of the Docklands. Confirms all the worst things ever said about the banality of much of the 1980s and 1990s LDDC architecture but catches some of the grandeur of Canary Wharf. Excellent and highly scholarly text.... Those brave people who squirrelled documents away in an industrial shed all through the 80s when the grim fury of the Thatcher regime forbade a proper museum, are now coming in to their own. Congratulations. Michael Edwards, UCL

I gave this as a present to a friend who was born within the sound of Bow Bells. He loved it and was fascinated by the changes in the Thames river frontage shown
