Description

London, the capital and heart of Britain, is an exciting and constantly developing city. London Then and Now explores London's landscape, past and present, through the eye of the camera. About 70 historic photographs of London's past are paired with contemporary views taken from the same vantage point. Despite wartime damage and postwar planning, many of the buildings that characterise London remain. The book features famous vistas that have changed little and others that have changed radically, from the regeneration of the South Bank and the Docklands in the east to the transformation of a power station into Tate Modern. Part of the bestselling Then and Now series, this striking contrast of old and new photographs highlights the stunning changes -- and the equally amazing similarities -- of one of the most loved cities in Britain, its well-known places as well as hidden gems.
