More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is a captivating addition to New Holland's London walks list, focusing on important, memorable or beautiful statues, sculptures and monuments around London. The 13 walks featured take around one to two hours to complete and each take in between 20 and 40 works. The reader is given all the relevant information about both the walk and the work of art, which include themes such as historical, armed forces, theatre and all current sculpture in London from Hyde Park to Greenwich, including Canary Wharf (with a view to the 2012 Olympics). The book is elegantly illustrated with artworks of the statues drawn in pen and ink with a colour wash. With classical and modern sculptures to visit, the book provides a fascinating overview of the people and events the capital has chosen to commemorate and the way different artists have undertaken their commissions.

At your own pace,
By
This review is from: Walking London's Statues and Monuments (Paperback)
Discovery at your own pace is a marvellous thing. Savour the treasures of London on foot. Let your only guide be this book. 13 comfortable walks, the longest around 6 miles, but most an easy stroll at between 1 and just over two miles. This handy guide covers over 400 art works and gives historical detail that you might miss otherwise. Includes route maps and pen and ink, colour-wash drawings of some of the sights to see. Get to know London better. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
