One photographer''s travelogue of the abstract shapes of architecture in cities around the world.
Paul Trevor's extreme close-ups, made spontaneously on the streets of east London, capture Britain's perennial social divide. They contrast the people in The City with those in the nearby market of Brick Lane. Shot during Thatcher's reign, the imagery is as fresh and relevant today as it was then --
London''s high streets are becoming ever more homogeneous and, well, downright dull. We can thank Pret A Manger for that. But there''s good news: a wealth of independents are hidden among the chains, you just need to know where to find the best ones. This pocket-sized paperback featuring the top 50 indie spots is a celebration of smaller businesses and one-off shops that bring colour, personality and style to the scene.
Cities are abundant with nature - and nowhere more so than London. So why is it that we fail to notice the greenery that surrounds our busy lives? And isn''t now the time, with the growing ecological crisis, for those of us in cities to reconnect to nature? This is a beautifully produced interpretation of an 18th century classic, Floral Londinensis, which set out to record every wild plant in London and which remains surprisingly relevant.
''Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'' Oscar Wilde ...and so the French captial ought to be flattered indeed. The small city of Tianducheng in China (built just 13 years ago) boasts an Eiffel Tower replica and 31km2 of convincing Parisien architecture, landscaping and fountains. Photographer Fran§ois Prost became fascinated with the ''duplicature'' movement in China and travelled there to capture the phenomenom. His resulting images, presented side by side with the French originals, are playful if a little unsettling. Is this flattery... or is it just weird?
It was the UK''s decision to leave the EU that made Londonborn photographer Orlando Gili question (and then capture) who the English really are. In a nation full of such contradiction and complexity, Gili found some answers in how people choose to spend their leisure time. From horse racing to wartime reanactments, carnivals to clubs, from ancient and quintessential rituals (medieval village bottle-kicking competitions) to the more modern (Santa pub crawls) this book reveals that which unites a divided nation: the relentless desire for organised fun.
In the wake of a terror attack and determined not to let the voices of separatism win out, photographer Katie Waggett embarked on an intimate survey of London's many religions.

'Sunday Best' is a feast of colour and a love letter to a city that so depends on diversity for its survival.0Katie Waggett is an award-winning documentary photographer based in London. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
A pilot's strange obsession for hotel carpets has now found Instagram fame When a pilot's daughter tweeted saying that all she wanted for Christmas was for her dad's Instagram account of hotel carpets to go viral, she didn't expect it to happen overnight. Hundreds of thousands of people now share Bill's love of the fascinating, wacky and sometimes 'challenging' designs of the hotel carpets he sees around the world (he now has a dedicated following of 409k). This pocket-sized book documents the weird and wonderful patterns we tend to ignore on our travels and is accompanied by the photographer's tongue-in-cheek commentary.
These vibrant photographs capture the unique and somewhat tragi-comic character of the most well-known of all British package holidays: the Butlin''s ''jolliday''. Lewis, who worked at Butlin''s in the 60s, returned to the Skegness camp in 1982 when the original vision was beginning to fade. Billy Butlin created his holiday attraction in the 1930s, when British workers were granted paid holidays for the first time and families were drawn by the promise of individual chalets, a theatre and a swimming pool.

Life-long Hackney resident Neil Martinson was still at school when he began taking photos on his home turf, documenting people at work, children at play, protests, homelessness, Jewish life, street markets and other scenes. His documentary archive brings a past era to life and shows how much the working lives of Hackney - and the world over - have changed in the digital age. ''I grew up in a period when a lot of people were doing manual jobs. There was a huge amount of manufacturing going on in the borough, which helped to make it diverse and vibrant.''
Think of the London Underground and what comes to mind? Shuffling human traffic, trains whirring through tunnels, tired silent faces. Mike Goldwater s pictures taken between 1970 and 1980, capture the moments of tenderness and life that lie beneath that: the kisses goodbye, the man cradling a cat, another smoking deep in thought, the homeless man curled up next to his belongings. We also see old ticket booths, retro carriages, whisky adverts and bell flares. These images, full of human interaction, take us back to a time when it was fine to talk (and smoke) on our beloved Underground.

A pictorial celebration of the launderettes of London: a type of business retaining quirky individuality as the homogenisation of the high street accelerates.
This book by a new photographer continues from 1980 as the regeneration of the East End accelerates to an unprecedented degree. Tim Brown, a driver on London Underground''s Central Line, spent his spare time photographing the city''s financial centre and transport hubs, including the Docklands area just before the developers seized control of this vast industrial wasteland. His subtle, understated (and never-before-seen) colour images are a nostalgic record of a corner of the capital that has changed almost beyond recognition.
Richly colourful photographs that capture the nostalgia and vulnerability of British seaside resorts. From Blackpool to Brighton, the pastel colours, faded arcades and worn-out carpets of British coastal towns evoke a particular nostalgia. With the changing tides of the British political landscape these traditional resorts appear fragile and some are falling into disrepair. Nevertheless some are thriving (thanks to regeneration funds), and all retain a special charm and retro appeal. Shooting for more than a decade since 2009, Rob Ball has documented over 35 coastal towns. His images serve as a record of a unique culture that is at risk of disappearing forever.
- Black and white photographs that capture the colorful characters of Miami Beach in the early '90sEach Christmas between 1988 and 1998, photographer Barry Lewis traveled to South Beach, Miami, to trade the harsh London winter for a tropical paradise. There he photographed the diverse (and eccentric) people who made up the community: fashionistas, newly-arrived Cubans (following the Meriel exodus in 1980), Jewish retirees from New York, drag queens and the gay population who flocked to ultra-cool Ocean Drive for the party scene. Lewis' images capture the vibrancy of an area coming back to life after years of crime, drugs, and violence.

-A rare documentation of London's docklands at a time just before the financial transformation When Mike Seaborne began photographing the Isle of Dogs in the early '80s he was struck by how it retained its traditional industrial character, despite the efforts of Thatcher's reign. His black-and-white photographs reveal an eerily desolate landscape which would soon be home to financial heavyweights and epic skyscrapers like Canary Wharf. They show an area of East London now almost beyond recognition, just before the money moved in.
Published to mark the 10th anniversary of the 2008 global financial crisis, these street photographs are a study of one of the most crucial locations for the world economy: the City of London.

When a local photographer stumbled upon 1,000s of David Granick''s colour slides in early 2017, he knew he had struck gold. These images capture the post-war streets of Stepney, Whitechapel, Bow and beyond in the warmth of Kodachrome hues at a time when black and white photography was the norm. Left untouched on a library shelf for 37 years, and revealed now for the first time, these photographs show an East London on the cusp of social transition.
