Publisher's Synopsis
Following his successes with revealing London's vanished architectural heritage in Lost London and Panoramas of Lost London, Philip Davies turns his attention to London's conserved heritage, presenting an expert introductory essay followed by the most extraordinary collection of contemporary photographs of London's historic interiors ever published. London – Hidden Interiors has one hundred and eighty examples which have been selected from a complete range of building types to convey the richness and diversity of London's architectural heritage, and the secrets that lie within. It concentrates generally on the buildings and interiors that are lesser known and to which the public are not normally allowed – the hidden and the unusual, the quirky and the eccentric, although there is space too for some of the better known. Derek Kendall's photographs, perfectly reproduced, make this book a visual delight and a major contribution to the architectural history of London.
