London: A Guide to Recent Architecture - Softcover

This is the sixth edition of one of the most popular architecture books of the last decade. Each edition has followed the architectural evolution of London, documenting changes that express with amazing accuracy the social, political and economic forces at work in the capital. Radically overhauled and in a new, larger format, this edition records a new generation of architecture and design, including Norman Foster's controversial headquarters for the Greater London Assembly, new housing ranging from riverside apartments from the ultra-rich to compact prefabs in the East End, ecologically driven developments in the shadow of the Dome, and a plethora of new shops, galleries and bars.

Samantha Hardingham trained at the Architectural Association in London. She has also written a guide to restaurants and design, Eat London, and is working on a monograph on the radical architect, Cedric Price.
