A lively new history of London told through twenty-five buildings from iconic Georgian townhouses to the Shard   A walk along any London street takes you past a wealth of seemingly ordinary buildings: an Edwardian church modernist postwar council housing stuccoed Italianate terraces a Bauhaus-inspired library. But these buildings are not just functional. They are evidence of London’s rich and diverse history and have shaped people’s experiences identities and relationships.   In this engaging study Paul L. Knox traces the history of London from the Georgian era to the present day through twenty-five surviving buildings. Knox explores where people lived and worked from grand Regency squares to Victorian workshops and highlights the impact of migration gentrification and inequality. We see famous buildings like Harrods and Abbey Road Studios and everyday places like Rochelle Street School and Thamesmead.   Each historical period has introduced new buildings and old ones have been repurposed. As Knox shows it is the living history of these buildings that makes up the vibrant but exceptionally unequal city of today.
