On his nighttime rambles through the City of London-i.e., its
historical and financial heart-Andreas Schmidt (born 1967)
documents the icy glamour of its epic-scaled financial palaces, in
which empty lobbies, conference rooms and endless corridors
proliferate. Schmidt's portrait of these eerily alienated realms
restore the understanding that such environments, in their
oversized grandeur, are very far from the civic good.

This comprehensive memento is a visual guide to the city's pomp
& pageantry, celebrations, carnivals & more. This title
features more than 500 photographs from the vast archives of the
Press Association. One of the world's great cities, Britain's
capital has long been an icon not only for the seven million
inhabitants who live and work there, but also for the many visitors
who flock to the metropolis from nationwide and abroad. With the
majestic River Thames flowing through its heart, London is home to
the Royal Family, hub of finance, seat of government, a centre for
the arts and host to several international sporting events. This
book forms a tour of the city's historic streets of medieval and
classical architecture, sumptuous palaces and distinctive bridges.
It captures the rich characters of Soho and Chinatown, London's
quaint squares and verdant parks, the vibrant West End, world-class
restaurants, the ubiquitous London pub, fine museums and art
galleries and the stadia that host sporting spectacles. This
comprehensive tourist memento is a visual guide to the city's pomp
and pageantry, celebrations, carnivals and glittering night life,
as well as to the rich mix of diverse cultures that nevertheless
exude a unique character, all revealed in more than 500 photographs
hand-picked from the vast archives of the Press Association.
