What a surprising book!
In a time when we are all stuck in our homes and we can only dream about travel this book brings London to you, and in a way you've never seen it before.
I've visited London as a tourist several times, and there are always new things I wanted to explore. One time it was a strange church I'd read about, another time it was a little art gallery away from the hustle and bustle of Tate and Tate Modern. After reading through this book there are literally dozens of places I want to explore.
I want to see the carved out piers of the Thames, I want to roll a marble down the spiral slidy things in the Millenimum Mills, I want to take a selfie next to the Russian Tank that appeared in Richard III.
This book is like a portable urban treasure map that just keeps on giving.
Highly recommend.

This is my favorite type of armchair travel book: gorgeous photographs of abandoned places that you will never get a chance to see IRL but still (and maybe that adds to the feeling) evoke melancholic feelings of nostalgia. Abandoned London is suddenly my new favorite book.
