In Derelict London, Paul Talling lists 100 of the capital’s most interesting, curious & eye-catching derelict buildings, from the deservedly discarded tower blocks to the scandalously neglected architectural gems. As well as more famous curiosities
- Second World War defences, the former tube station with a Hollywood history & the inescapable silhouette of Battersea power station
- the book lists many smaller, hidden & often more tragic edifices, including old dock complexes, pubs, cinemas, public bathhouses, & even sex shops. Perfect for anyone with an interest in London’s complex social, industrial & commercial history, the book gives each entry a two-page spread, with photography & a brief description of the history & current fortunes of each of these relics of the past.
