This two-volume work which was first published in 1825-8 presents
London's most important buildings at a time of rapid urban
transformation. Aiming to project a vision of London as a dynamic
city of integrated courtly and commercial power, the 70 entries
span a historical range from the medieval (Westminster Hall) to the
early nineteenth century (Soane's Museum) and a diversity of
building types from palaces and churches to banks, theatres,
prisons and bridges. Edited by John Britton, a leading
topographical authority of the period, and Auguste Charles Pugin,
an Anglo-French architectural draughtsman, the volumes contain 146
engravings of the selected buildings, correctly scaled from
different perspectives and including interior scenes as well as
external plans. This was a landmark publication in its time and
remains a vivid portrait of the London's built environment
immediately before the advent of the railway. This new edition
includes an extended introduction by Stephen Daniels, Professor
Emeritus of Cultural Geography, University of Nottingham.
