A warning to anyone who claims that they know London...think again! There is a whole new world waiting for us if we would only look beyond those familiar storefronts and all that corporate branding. "Looking up in London" is the first book to introduce us to the overlooked gems on London's buildings above eye-level. Combining a travel guide with a treasure hunt, this is a book for London's explorers, visitors and residents alike. A compendium of detailed colour photographs, maps and fascinating architectural and historical facts about special decorative features introduces us to a dimension of London we may otherwise never have seen. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs, this book is the equivalent of taking a tour with a local who knows all the hidden corners and secrets that other tour guides ignore.
Jane and Helen Peyton grew up in Skipton, North Yorkshire. Jane works in factual television programme production and Helen lectures in art at colleges in Yorkshire. They are widely travelled, together and individually. They realised that buildings meant more to them than images of each other when, looking through their travel photographs, they found none of each other but dozens featuring balconies, chimneys and door frames. Looking up in London is their first professional collaboration.
