Throughout London's two-thousand-year history, architecture has
expressed the identity of the city's diverse communities. From
Franciscan friars to merchant bankers, royal dynasties to grocers
and tailors, the ideals and wealth of these groups have been
reflected in magnificent buildings and public spaces. Gilded City
tells the fascinating history of London through its medieval and
early modern architecture, and discusses how the powers these
buildings and spaces represent have shaped the capital. As well as
exploring famous landmarks, smaller-scale civic gems are revealed.
Over eighty photographs are included, with maps and guides of nine
recommended walking tours.
