　　In this wholly new and dynamic view of London, Farrell looksbeyond the contribution of individual buildings to the city. Hecreates a larger, more exciting frame, charting how the capital’smessy and complex shape has been hewn out of a series of layers –natural and manmade, so the Thames and the natural landscape getsas much attention as the railway infrastructure, the roads and thecanals. This provides a whole series of revelations that allow usto see the city afresh: How might the natural bends in the riverhave impacted where and what was built? How have the Thames’tributaries affected historic boundaries and development, playedout in the estates of Mayfair? How is the Roman plan for the cityof London still discernible in today’s street patterns?

  Illustrated with original sketches, maps, archive photographs andpaintings, this book provides a vibrant and intriguing collage ofLondon’s patterns and its history.

  The Thames at West London, Central London, Docklands and theEstuary

  Tributaries

  Canals
