London boasts a fine selection of truly spectacular landmarks, each with its own unique history, and here are 50 of the most famous presented in words and pictures.

Each landmark includes a handy map detailing the nearest transport links and nearby places of interest as well as beautiful photography and essential information. Whether used as a guidebook or bought as a souvenir, this is a book you'll want to look at time and time again.
