Central London is awash with sculptural works. Some of these are internationally celebrated and frequently appreciated by visitors but many other lesser-known works lie hidden in unexpected places and are relatively unseen.
The 13 walks wind around the City, Bloomsbury, the West End, the central Embankment, the West End parks and Belgravia, covering well over 400 works.
Illustrated with elegant artworks in pen and ink with a colour wash, the book brings to life a range of statues, each accompanied with a fascinating insight into the history behind each one, giving an enlightening overview of the people and events London has chosen to commemorate, and highlighting the different ways the artist has chosen to represent this.
Includes easy-to-follow route maps with full indices of all the sculptors, architects and sculptural works.
