5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent architecture reference, May 11, 2006

By	Helen C. Sheward "Old Librarian" (Oakland CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had borrowed this book from our public library, but soon realised that this was more than a simple read - it was something I wanted on my own bookshelves. Ann Saunders not only describes London's architecture, but delves into the history (which in some cases, can go as far back as the Romas occupation) of London's neighborhoods with their distinctive buildings, public and private, as well as those who lived there in the past, and/or the artists and sponsors who were responsible for their building.
I was delighted to see you had a copy, ordered it fast, and am now enjoying "revisiting" London at my leisure and in the comfort of my own home. A valuable addition to my library.
