    London Calling

    A photographic journey through the history of this epic city

    Samuel Johnson famously said that: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” London’s remarkable history, architecture, landmarks, streets, style, cool, swagger, and stalwart residents are pictured in compelling photographs sourced from a wide array of archives around the world. London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant.

    From Victorian London to the Swinging ’60s; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from royal weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of Westminster; from the power to glory: this book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history.
