Newspapers & Magazines
"Photography as a medium can extend our experiences, and here Peter Dazeley's richly detailed photographs open the doors to some of London's most iconic and intriguing buildings."

"Taking in the Capital's best hidden archaeology, relics and structures - both beautiful and unapologetically ugly - celebrated snapper Dazeley takes us on a journey of discovery that even us born and bred Londoners will find fascinating."

"a delightful window on to the hidden architectural treasures of our magnificent capital and Dazeley captures the atmosphere of each building to perfection."

"a thrilling tour behind the closed doors of the capital city's buildings."

"an absorbing insight into places most of us never get to visit"

"From Tower Bridge to Battersea Power Station, via Big Ben and the Old Bailey, it's a journey that any architecture enthusiast will love. A great gift."

"a joy"

'The dazzling collection of photographs is universally appealing; whether you're a tourist, a ligeling Londoner, an architect enthusiast, or a history buff, don't miss your chance to view or buy his precious images. His work becomes more important when you appreciate that some of these buildings might not be here in the future. These aren't just images, they're also a slice of London's history.'
