Description
Colours of London: A History explores how the city's many hues have shaped its history and identity. From the reds of open-top buses and terracotta bricks to the grey smog of Victorian industry, each colour holds links to the past.
The colours of London are everywhere in the city, reflecting the incandescent light of a city that never truly goes dark. This beautifully written book examines the city's fascinating relationship with colour, alongside specially commissioned colorised photographs from Dynamichrome, which bring a lost London back to life.
