Each volume is superbly designed and produced, yet ingeniously practical, with lavish photography, easy-to-read maps, and informed and enjoyable texts. No other great world city represents such a dynamic convergence of popular culture with tradition, cosmopolitanism with national pride, retrospection with progress. London's layers of history are given brilliance by the global trends it often originates. The city occupies an edgy and exciting position between European and American culture, with an idiosyncratic character all its own.
