The best way of discovering London is on foot or from the top of a bus. No other large city is more rewarding to wander around, with a wealth of interesting things to see, both grand and intimate in scale. Watercolour painter Graham Byfield set out to capture the essence of the place, and his impressions are recorded in the London Sketchbook.
Britain’s capital is varied and cosmopolitan. It has no formally planned centre; each area has its own particular style and atmosphere. Central London is the setting for parliament, royal palaces, formal squares and grand hotels.
The city is the financial district, but it is also rich in architecture, including Sir Christopher Wren’s greatest work.
Graham Byfield is an English watercolorist known for his urban landscapes combining pencil drawings and watercolors. After a career in the Far East as a graphic designer, he specialized in architectural representations of major cities around the world.
British architectural historian and writer Marcus Binney is a leading figure in heritage preservation in the United Kingdom. Founder and chairman of Save Britain’s Heritage, architectural correspondent for The Times, and author of numerous books, he also presented the series Mansions: The Great Houses of Europe. He was awarded an OBE and then a CBE for his commitment to heritage.
