This volume on London architecture covers the boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey and Islington. It gives a view of London's expansion northward from formal Georgian squares, to the hill towns of Hampstead and Highgate.
The streetscape of London's historic square mile has been evolving for centuries, but the City's busy commercial heart still boasts an extensive network of narrow passages and alleyways, secret squares and half-hidden courtyards. Using his wealth of local knowledge, historian David Long guides you through these ancient rights of passage – many dating back to medieval times or earlier – their evocative names recalling old taverns, notable individuals and City traditions. Hidden behind the glass, steel and stone of London's banks and big business, these survivors of modern development bear witness to nearly 2,000 years of British history.
London has been a favorite city for film directors to shoot on location for decades, as it houses some of the most iconic British landmarks as well as beautiful historic buildings. With the constant regeneration of the city, there are also inevitably some shifty-looking derelict sites just perfect for despicable criminal activities to be shot. That is what this book is about. Have you ever wondered where Hatchet Harry’s office was in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, where Mitchel gets stabbed in London Boulevard, where the final fight took place between the Millwall and Chelsea gangs in the Football Factory, or where Poirot’s flat was in the iconic TV series? You will be able to visit all of these locations using this book. You can also take a tour of your favorite movie’s locations, go on a crime movie pub crawl (although be warned - there are a lot of pubs in crime movies), take a chilled walk through cemeteries and churches or even create your own tours based on postcode. In this book you will find more than 630 locations from 76 crime movies and 12 crime-related TV shows. The book also has more than 100 images taken around the city showing the locations as you will see them today to help you channel your inner Danny Dyer, Poirot or even Kingsman.
