111 Hidden Art Treasures in London That You Shouldn't Miss Paperback / softback
by Michael Glover
Part of the 111 Places series
Paperback / softback
Description
The hidden art of London is for the ever-curious roamer of both the back streets and the familiar places you never quite see - churches, gardens, graveyards, pubs.
What little garden finds the poet John Keats sitting in the corner of a bench?
Which abandoned building tells the story of a great Roman Road?There are always marvels hidden in plain view - the back corner of a museum containing great sculptures by Rodin or the naked, street-corner golden boy, who marks where the Great Fire of London finally petered out.
A famous literary cat or a painting by Hogarth on the bend of a stairs in an ancient hospital. This guidebook takes you exploring London beyond its most famous sights to find the art we have never quite noticed before: the hidden statues, paintings, and murals that have escaped from the official museums, and often live unnoticed lives in tucked away places.
