Description

With 150 outstanding color photographs, Abandoned London presents a poignant pictorial exploration of the English capital—from forgotten railways lines and underpasses to lost industrial places, movie theaters, churches, and cemeteries.

London is both a bright, modern city with soaring skyscrapers as well as a metropolis hundreds of years old—and, despite its gleaming surface, there is another side to the city, one of secrets, dilapidation, and mystery. Wander through disused stations on the Underground; immense, ornate Victorian sewers and waterworks; crumbling but beautiful Art Deco cinemas and empty swimming pools; bombed-out churches and eerie docklands; and ruined mansions and overgrown cemeteries, all haunting relics from a time gone by.

Arranged thematically from transport and industry to residential and recreational, these entries cover both the modern city and the historical metropolis.

Includes:

- South Kentish Underground Station, closed in 1927

- Camden’s horse tunnels

- Great Eastern Street, once a place of light industries, now finally being revived

- Museum Street, Bloomsbury, with its shuttered shops

- Crystal Palace Underpass, built to accommodate Victorian visitors on their way to the Crystal Palace exhibition

- Sailmaker’s Factory, Limehouse

- Strand Union Workhouse

- St Mary’s Lodge, Lordship Road, Stoke Newington

- Mansions, Bishop’s Avenue

- The First Class Swimming Pool Hall

– Ladywell Play Tower
