Spectacular Vernacular by David Long
Elsewhere one finds an arts centre built of old shipping containers, a Victiorian explorer lying dead in a tent, literally acres of secret undergound government offices, even a private tunnel used for running cable-cars under the Thames.Think you know London?
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.
