London's Houses
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Shutting the door on the world outside and embarking on a journey through an historic house releases the magic of time travel. It s an opportunity to recreate imaginatively a specific era peopled by characters whose lives can only be guessed at, or to re-run incidents from a well-known biography in their setting. London has an amazing range of houses regularly open to the public, and this book covers them all. Architects from Robert Adam to Ern Goldfinger are represented. In social terms, the spectrum runs from the destitute who filled the workhouse now known as Vestry House in Walthamstow, to aristocrats and royalty busily building and coupling in Kensington and Twickenham. With architectural details and social history, biographies and practical information, this book provides everything visitors need to plan a trip back through the centuries. This second edition of London s Houses is now in full colour. The new edition has been entirely updated to include changes such as the refurbishment Kenwood House and the addition of four historic houses as well as new photographs and maps.
