Description

Ian Nairn's London is a personal and idiosyncratic love letter to the city and its buildings. Written over a decade after his influential critique of postwar city planning, this book is a record of what has moved him, from well-known monuments to lesser-known landmarks. Spanning a wide range of subjects, Nairn's observations offer a unique perspective on the city's architecture and history. The book is a testament to Nairn's passion for the built environment and his ability to find beauty in the everyday. With a keen eye for detail, he explores the city's hidden corners and reveals the stories behind its iconic buildings. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in architecture, history, and the human experience. First published in 2014, Nairn's London is a rediscovered gem that showcases the author's singular voice and perspective.
