London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings by David Long

London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings by David Long

London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings reveals the stories behind the capital's strangest and most enigmatic buildings. While some are open to the public - if you know who to ask - others are strictly off limits, which only heightens the sense of mystery around them. Still others are so familiar that few ever stop to consider how curious they actually are.South of the river, for example, the city's widest building at nearly 1,000ft has been favourably compared to the Winter Palace. Elsewhere you can find an arts centre built of old shipping containers, a Victorian explorer lying dead in a tent, acres of secret government underground offices, and even a private tunnel used for running cable cars under the Thames.Think you know London? Think again ...

Well-received by reviewers and readers alike, DAVID LONG's engaging, imaginative and well-informed books reflect an unquenchable thirst for those events and personalities that illuminate the past. An author and writer since leaving university, his work has appeared on TV and radio, as well as in The Times, countless magazines and London’s Evening Standard. As well as being an award-winning ghostwriter, he has written a number of books on London, including London's 100 Strangest Places, London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings, London's Secret Square Mile, When Did Big Ben First Bong?, and the highly successful The Little Book of London.
