5.0 out of 5 stars More of the same - yes please!, 24 May 2007

By	Dilberto (Deepest Darkest Central London) - See all my reviews

Having read and enjoyed the same author's SPECTACULAR VERNACULAR: LONDON'S 100 MOST EXTRAORDINARY BUILDINGS last year - since when I have visited around half of them - I was keen to see what else he could throw up in his entertaining and fantastically inquisitive trawls through the more obscure corners of London.

And the answer is....plenty, and it's all good stuff. Another 100 places most of us don't know about, or haven't spotted or should know more about but don't. Best of all most of them we can visit should we choose to do so, and often without paying a penny. Top secret tunnels, exotic architectural survivors, hidden courtyards and plenty of weird or grisly stuff about the people who built them, lived in them or died there.

The book itself is too big to carry around as a guide, but there's plenty of detail, hundreds of new photographs by the author, and enough in here for several days exploring. And whether you're a local or a visitor, you'll certainly learn plenty you didn't know before. Five stars, definitely

5.0 out of 5 stars Well researched, wonderfully written, fabulous photos, 14 Jan 2008

By	West London Gal (Shepherds Bush, London) - See all my reviews

Sequels aren't meant to be as good as the original, are they, but having enjoyed David Long's SPECTACULAR VERNACULAR last year I had to have this one, and I'm not disappointed. Far from it. In fact for anyone bored with all those London books which just go over the same old ground again (Tower of London, yawn) these two books have been a revelation to me. Packed full of places and buildings most of us don't even notice, and with every one photographed and explored by an author with a real talent for the subject, they're original, funny, and above all fascinating in terms of the detail, the history and the personalities they describe and which together make London what it is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab stuff, 6 Jun 2007

By	N Sharman (London) - See all my reviews

Whether you're local or just visiting, an explorer or a reader, the subject
of this book can't fail to hook you if you're interested in London. Besides
tunnels, towers and temples, it's packed full of strange houses (old and
new), secret corners, bizarre bits of history and colourful descriptions of
the sort of great places which most of us walk by without noticing everyday
of the week. Not just central London either, but all over.
