Without the Thames, London in its present form would not exist. Its tidal ebb and flow were of such great importance to early navigation that for centuries London was essentially a maritime city. The Thames was also London's main thoroughfare and consequently many famous landmarks line its banks. The Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Somerset House and Chelsea Hospital all present their most imposing aspect to the river. LONDON FROM THE THAMES takes the reader on a fascinating boat trip from the Thames Barrier in the east to Hampton Court in the west, exploring this historic river and the buildings and monuments on its banks. Angelo Hornak's stunning photographs, taken from his small boat, offer a unique perspective. The book is organised by chapters corresponding to the districts of London and, in addition to the modern pictures, fascinating engravings put the Thames in historical perspective. These include views of the Tower of London in the sixteenth century and a Ponte Vecchio-style Old London Bridge with its houses and shops.
