Reaching some of the darkest corners of the world, this is a
compendium of travel destinations like no other. Author Peter
Hohenhaus has visited nearly all of the places featured in the
book, and brings his first-hand knowledge to the reader. Dark
tourism has seen a surge in popularity in the last decade as people
seek a richer travel experience, choosing to meaningfully engage
with our more troubling heritage rather than opting for merely
escapist vacations. This is the first book to bring together 300
destinations in a readable and fascinating guide, from nuclear
bunkers and disaster sites to strange medical museums and eerie
catacombs.

There are currently 272 London Underground, 113 Overground and 45
Docklands Light Railway stations. Luke Agbaimoni has been slowly
attempting to capture visual moments at each one. When we see a
symmetrical image, it soothes us. It feels as if a puzzle has been
completed in front of our eyes. In his first book, The Tube Mapper
Project: Capturing Moments on the London Underground, Luke
Agbaimoni captured themes such as light, reflections, tunnels and
escalators, and documented how the London Underground is part of
our identity, a network of shared experiences and visual memories.
This follow-up project sees Luke delve into his obsession with
symmetry, seeking out stunning and powerful examples across the
network in his quest to find beauty in the seemingly mundane.
London Underground Symmetry & Imperfections considers such
questions as what symmetry means and how to find it in your daily
commute, and also revels in the design of the newly opened
Elizabeth line.

The Underground is the backbone of the city of London, a part of
our identity. It's a network of shared experiences and visual
memories, and most Londoners and visitors to the city will at some
point have an interaction with the London Underground tube and
train network. The Tube Mapper project deliberately captures
moments of subconscious recognition and overlooked interests,
showcasing images that can be seen near or at many of London's
Underground, Overground and DLR stations. Photographer Luke
Agbaimoni gave up city-scape night photography after the birth of
his first child, but creating the Tube Mapper project allowed him
to continue being creative, fitting photography around his new
lifestyle and adding stations on his daily commute. His memorable
photographs consider such themes as symmetry, reflections, tunnels
and escalators, as well as simply pointing out and appreciating the
way the light falls on a platform in an evening sunset. This book
reveals the London every commuter knows in a unique, vibrant and
arresting style.
