Modern and vibrant

This is a treasury of generally interesting stuff about London. There are 8 chapters, covering Architecture, Art, Fashion, Festivals and Religion, Food and Drink, Music, Sports and Leisure, Theatre. Lavishly illustrated, and designed in a very modern way, it is a really interesting look at various cultural traditions and the people that make up modern London. It gives you a real feel for the vibrancy of compolitan, multicultural, multiethnic, multifaith nature of London, rather than an anodyne view of "little white Englanders".Not a travel guide, but a book anyone planning a trip would find interesting, or anyone interested in this great city.
