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
- Regal Cinema Highams Park
- Archway Methodist Central Hall
- Highgate West Cemetery
- Ruins of a Victorian Folly, Sydenham Hill Woods
