Product Description
Synopsis
For centuries the River Thames was London's main thoroughfare, and many famous landmarks line its banks. The Tower of London, The Houses of Parliament, Somerset House and Chelsea Hospital all present their most imposing aspect to the river. This volume takes the reader on a boat trip through London, exploring this fascinating waterway and the history of the buildings and monuments on its banks. Angelo Hornak's photographs offer a view of the river from the Thames Barrier in the east to Hampton Court in the west, and are accompanied by engravings which put the Thames in historical perspective. These include views of the Tower of London in the 16th century and a Ponte Vecchio-style Old London Bridge with its houses and shops.

A literate tour of the Thames
13 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
This is a book to get for the photographs, which are beautiful and take the reader from the Thames Barrier in the east to Hampton Court in the west. Photographed at different times of day and of the year, we get to know the banks of the Thames quite well. The writing is serviceable and conveys a lot of information, although it would be interesting to get more stories from the people on and by the river. Still, it's a lot of fun to look through.
