London from the Thames

More about the book

For centuries the river Thames was London's main thoroughfare, and many famous landmarks line its banks. The Tower of London, The Houses of Parliament, Somerset House and Chelsea Hospital all present their most imposing aspect to the river. This volume takes the reader on a boat trip through London, exploring this fascinating waterway and the history of the buildings and monuments on its banks. Angelo Hornak's photographs offer a view of the river from the Thames Barrier in the east to Hampton Court in the west, and the text as a whole provides a visual celebration of the Thames published to coincide with the river's important role in London's millennium celebrations.
