London 2: South is a uniquely comprehensive guide to the twelve
southern boroughs. Its riverside buildings range from the royal
splendours of Hampton Court and Greenwich and the Georgian delights
of Richmond, to the monuments of Victorian commerce in Lambeth and
Southwark. But the book also charts lesser known suburbs, from
former villages such as Clapham to still rural, Edwardian
Chislehurst, as well as the results of twentieth-century planners'
dreams from Roehampton to Thamesmead. Full accounts are given of
London landmarks as diverse as Southwark Cathedral, Soane's Dulwich
Picture Gallery and the arts complex of the South Bank. The outer
boroughs include diverse former country houses - Edward IV's Eltham
Palace, the Jacobean Charlton House, and the Palladian Marble Hill.
The rich Victorian churches and school buildings are covered in
detail, as are the exceptional structures of Kew Gardens.
