London’s North Bank in 50 Buildings highlights the remarkable buildings bordering the north side of the River Thames between Vauxhall Bridge and Tower Bridge. Interspersed with instantly recognisable landmarks such as Tate Britain, the Palace of Westminster, Charing Cross station, the Savoy Hotel and the Tower of London, the authors also reveal many overlooked architectural treasures including the ICI and Unilever HQs, Millbank Tower, ‘Big Benzene’, Trinity House, and even a cabmen’s shelter.


What links all of these buildings are their fascinating origins and eye-catching architectural details. New research by award-winning London Blue Badge guide Rachel Kolsky combined with photographer Louis Berk’s perceptive images brings you a refreshing new perspective on riverside London.


Perfectly complementing the authors’ companion volume London’s South Bank in 50 Buildings, this book explores not only the streetscape but also the history of this absorbing stretch of London, highlighting changes that have taken place over the centuries and continue to take place to this day. It will appeal to all those with an interest in the city, residents and visitors alike, who enjoy walking alongside London’s river highway eager to make new discoveries.
