I don't think there'll ever be a coffee-table book on London I don't like. :D It's really true--I love just about all the ones I've read to date, and this is no exception! Of course, not everything about London is sunshine and daises, fun and games. We do see the challenges and hardships represented here, just as much as the city's glories--as we should. (And oh, reading about Queen Elizabeth's coronation just weeks after her passing... #feels) Even the weather comes up; inevitable, just like one cannot talk about the Pacific Northwest without talking about rain--or mist (ask me how I know :D). And yet, I felt at home in that section--not just because it was covered under my favorite color, blue, but because the PNW and England share many a common weather; the two are not so different there. As interesting and erudite as this might get, it really seemed a most unusual concept on which to hang a whole book. A love letter to England’s capital, it seemed to suggest a uniqueness about London’s colours that never applies anywhere else – that London is alone in having a light that changes whether you’re looking north or south, or whether the sun is in the east or west. London then is unique in having a neon smudge above it at night – try flying over India, where any metropolis has a smudge of glowing gunk reaching from the ground to space.

I came to think of these chapters, each devoted to a different hue, as a kind of stroll through history paying attention to specific qualities. The next chapter was another stroll but with different qualities under examination. This is quite an enjoyable read as well as an attractive book to simply look through. Combined, it makes for a wonderful experience.

The graphics greatly complement the text, in particular ‘colourised’ photographs, which form a major part of the book. The Author also includes a note on the technique of colourised photography; a detailed and time consuming process which provides an interpretation of what a colour image may have resembled. The results are convincing and sit nicely besides the Author’s descriptions and storytelling. In conclusion, he suggests that there is no one “London colour” but that it is all aspects of the city blending together which create its unique palette. This book would brighten up any coffee table with its vibrant front cover of London at night but it also deserves to be read from cover to cover, particularly, perhaps, on a cold winter’s day when the world may be much in need of an injection of colour.

As well as lengthy discussions on one or two major topics in each chapter (for example, the Great Exhibition, the Olympics, both World Wars, the Swinging Sixties), the Author takes us on many smaller detours to discuss other important and interesting events albeit smaller in an historical sense. Some have a tenuous relationship to the chapter colour or description, nevertheless, the events, stories and images in each chapter seem to sit naturally alongside each other.
