HIDDEN TREASURES OF LONDON: A GUIDE TO THE CAPITAL’S BEST KEPT SECRETS
Book ID/图书代码： 06495014B71473
English Summary/英文概要： Nobody could deny that London is one of the most culturally and architecturally rich places in the world. We cannot think of it without calling to mind buildings such as the Houses of Parliament and St Paul’s Cathedral, monuments such as Nelson’s Col-umn and the Cenotaph, and the incredible collections of museums such as the V&A and Natural History Museum. But such glories can make us overlook some of the oth-er, less obvious wonders that the city has to offer.
In this beautifully illustrated guide to London’s lesser known cultural gems, Michael McNay has collected these more esoteric attractions, highlighting masterpieces and locations of significance the length and breadth of the city and its suburbs. In some cases an entire building may draw his attention; perhaps a beautiful church tucked away on a backstreet or an unobtrusive townhouse which lodged some great figure. In other cases it may be only a particular object or feature; a display of photographs, or some particularly fine relief sculpture.
In every case McNay describes the subject at hand in vivid detail and provides the reader with the cultural and historical context needed to fully appreciate it.
However well you may think you know the capital, Hidden Treasures of London is certain to unlock more of its secrets to you, leading you away from well-trodden tour-ist destinations to explore the amazing secret history of this great city.
