"This book is as beguiling as a book can be ... From the first
glimpse of its most agreeable small format - so satisfying to hold
and with a cover that positively sings of the delights to be found
within - you are charmed out of your wits." - Lucinda Lambton in
The Oldie "This is at one level a book about a part of London and
its buildings. At another, it's a book about learning to savour our
lives" - Alain de Botton Take a walk around a park trodden by many
but known by few. From Lancaster House, venue of famous speeches
and summits, to 100 Piccadilly, the stage of an ongoing
Soviet-themed reality experience, The Buildings of Green Park
captures the unseen history of these well-travelled streets. Green
Park boasts a plethora of London landmarks, including Bridgewater
House and the Canada Gates. The Buildings of Green Park gives each
of these sites the attention they deserve, while also celebrating a
multitude of overlooked buildings: those that are passed every day
without comment from the guides. Local history, old photographs,
paintings and floorplans offer a tantalising peek into the
backstory behind these backdrops. Moving through the winter and
into the spring, Andrew Jones's crisp photography captures a London
shaped by past, present and hopes for the future.
