Description

Londontown is a photographic love letter to this bustling world capital. Photographer Susannah Conway takes us beyond familiar sites like Buckingham Palace and the London Eye to capture an authentic local experience of the city. Readers will travel with her as she crisscrosses London, shooting all the hippest, most exciting, and most historical neighborhoods, sampling the city's effortless cool, vibrant street life, and timeless savoir faire. Mixing signature Polaroid shots with modern digital photos, and with a foreword by the award-winning artist and designer Helen Storey, this book offers an intimate slice of London, whether you're half a mile from Big Ben or all the way across the pond.
