London

London's City Churches include some of the Capital's finest architecture. The sanctity of the church has prevented London's churches from being redeveloped or altered in any significant way and so they remain historical islands while the environment around them has changed beyond recognition.

This book charts the ten-year story of creating 70 St Mary Axe, a prestigious addition to the London skyline, from concept through to completion.

Both fascinating and extremely revealing, this is an intimate account of power and the building at its core. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of British politics.
