London at Night

by Jason Hawkes, Kenneth Powell (Introduction)

London at Night is a fascinating tour of the city as seen through the lens of award-winning aerial photographer Jason Hawkes. The images, taken from a helicopter, offer a fresh perspective on such familiar landmarks as the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral and the 'Gherkin', as well as unexpected views of daily life in the office blocks are deserted as commuters make their way home through busy traffic, shoppers crowd a festively lit Regent Street, and tourists and revellers head for the bars and theatres of the West End. By night even the sweeping, illuminated curves of a junction on the M25 have a certain beauty. Accompanied by informative captions and an introduction by Kenneth Powell, Hawkes's photographs bring the city to life and make a captivating book that will appeal to anyone interested in London's ever-changing landscape.
