Book Reviews of London: The City Churches (Pevsner Architectural Guides)
Book Review: A delight to follow this guide to London's churches
Summary: 5 Stars
I have completed 50 lunchtime visits to London's churches accompanied, inspired and provoked by Simon Bradley and Nikolaus Pevsner's guide to the City Churches. In my view the book is outstanding, filled with fine detail, expert knowledge and a wry sense of humour.The format is a compilation of guides to the individual churches with as much or little detail as is warranted by the subject. An introduction to Wren's work is useful and the glossary of architectural terms vital.
My favourite passage concerns St Magnus the Martyr where extraordinary words and thoughts flow freely, and had both us and the vicar in fits, enhancing the visit considerably. On the other hand, the photographs are a little dull and black and white.
I owe the authors a debt for introducing me to some of the very best that London has to offer. And the churches are free to visit!
