The Buildings of Green Park: A Tour of Certain Buildings, Monuments and Other Structures in Mayfair and St. James`s

“This is at one level a book about a part of London and its buildings. At another, it`s a book about learning to savour our lives” Alain de BottonTake a walk around a park trodden by many but known by few. From Lancaster House, venue of famous speeches and summits, to 100 Piccadilly, the stage of an ongoing Soviet-themed reality experience, `The Buildings of Green Park` captures the unseen history of these well-travelled streets.Green Park boasts a plethora of London landmarks, including Bridgewater House and the Canada Gates. The Buildings of Green Park gives each of these sites the attention they deserve, while also celebrating a multitude of overlooked buildings: those that are passed every day without comment from the guides. Local history, old photographs, paintings and floorplans offer a tantalising peek into the backstory behind these backdrops. Moving through the winter and into the spring, Andrew Jones`s crisp photography captures a London shaped by past, present and hopes for the future.
