London's most interesting, surprising and unique places. London is
packed with little-known treasures: remarkably preserved historical

industrial buildings and sumptuous interiors that are glimpsed only
on special occasions. A follow-up to the hugely successful Unseen
London and London Uncovered,London Explored is a unique London
guidebook that opens the doors to more than sixty of the capital's
most surprising and intriguing places. The locations include an
upmarket gun shop, a working bronze foundry, a secret underground
bunker, a lavish casino and a jewel-like chapel. Mark Daly's lively
commentary accompanies the stunning photography of Peter Dazeley.
From the lavish eighteenth-century private members' clubs of
Westminster and the grand magnificence of the Admiralty Arch,
through the city's wide array of cultural and historical museums,
to a look inside the lesser known sights like Tower Bridge
lifeboate station or Clapham's enormous abandonded underground bomb
shelter, this beautiful compendium delves into the history and
heritage of these places, offering a fascinating picture of one of
the world's great cities as it was and as it is today. Explore
London with this special guide to the city's secret and surprising
buildings. Describing the history and the character of each place,
the book uncovers a wealth of stories about an endlessly remarkable
world city with its own unique character. Praise for Peter Dazeley
and Mark Daly's previous book Unseen London: 'A thrilling tour
behind the closed doors of the capital city's buildings.' Daily
Telegraph 'Dazeley captures the atmosphere of each building to
perfection.' Daily Express 'Fascinating' Fabric magazine 'A joy'
