Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-23 00:00:00 Edward Papesh Pevsner with illustrations - comprehensive, beautifully photographed, well organised, judiciously selected and absorbingly appended with an examination of the evolution of the London street pattern, its squares and the great estates which built them, this is a must for the connoisseur and dilettante alike, as well as an eye-opener for those of us who spend too much time in Oxford Street and other dreary thoroughfares, unaware of the riches that lie just an alleyway away or even above our heads. There must be omissions - I've so far been disappointed not to see Baker Street Station and, just along from it, Mme Tussauds & Planetarium - in the former's case, intriguing enough to merit a mention; in the latter's, the tenant alone surely requires it - the building is in any case eccentric enough to be worth inclusion |
Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-03 00:00:00 Rebecca Caetano The museum and technical institution were inventions of the nineteenth century, and this dense area represents the Victorian passion for cataloguing and analysing the world. |
