This essential guide opens up the treasures of London's most
alluring quarter. At its core are Westminster Abbey, Parliament,
and the palatial Government buildings of Whitehall, together with
the great band of Royal Parks stretching westward toward
Kensington. It also includes London's West End (Covent Garden,
Soho, Mayfair, and St. James's) and the less well-known Belgravia
and Pimlico. For each area there is a detailed gazetteer and brief
introduction. A general introduction provides a historical and
artistic overview. Numerous maps and plans, over 100 new color
photographs, full indexes, and an illustrated glossary help to make
this book invaluable as both reference work and guide. This is the
fifth of six Pevsner Architectural Guides volumes on London
available in cloth.
