Description
Behind the bustling streets of London lies a diverse manufacturing scene, with over 4000 businesses based in Greater London. From glass eyeballs to automobiles, and from propellers to chocolate truffles, these manufacturers produce a wide range of goods. This book provides a fascinating glimpse behind the doors of London's making and manufacturing companies, revealing the processes and spaces that are often hidden from view. With 50 businesses featured, including the Ford Motor Company in Dagenham and William Say, third-generation tin-can makers in Bermondsey, this book offers a unique insight into the world of London's manufacturers. The introduction is written by Mark Brearley, an architect and Professor of Urbanism at London Metropolitan Museum, who also owns the London-based tray and trolley manufacturer Kaymet.
