Reviews / Votes
'It's a book that would appeal to anyone with a love of London and good photography. Very giftable.' * Londonist, January 2024 * 'The presentation is simple: pictures are merely captioned with the location, with one or two images per spread. But what this book lacks in words, it more than makes up for in stunning views.' * Waterways World Magazine, May 2024 *More details
