Think of the colours of London and what do you imagine? The reds of open-top buses, phone boxes and terracotta bricks? The grey smog of Victorian industry, Portland stone and pigeons in Trafalgar square? Or the gradations of yellows, violets and blues that shimmer on the Thames at sunset – reflecting the incandescent light of a city that never truly goes dark.
We associate green with royal parks and the District Line; gold with royal carriages, the Golden Lane Estate, and the tops of monuments and cathedrals.
The colours of London have inspired artists (Van Gogh, Turner, Monet), designers (Harry Beck) and social reformers (Charles Booth).
Colour is everywhere in the city, and each one holds myriad links to the city's past. And for all the colours still surrounding us today, many are long lost, hidden only in diaries, artworks and in the monochromatic shades of black-and-white photography.
In Colours of London, Peter Ackroyd examines the city's fascinating relationship with colour, alongside specially commissioned colourised photographs from Dynamichrome, which bring a lost London back to life.
London has been the main character in Ackroyd's work ever since his first novel, and he has won countless prizes in both fiction and non-fiction for his truly remarkable body of work.
Here, he channels a lifetime of knowledge of the great city, writing with clarity and passion about the hues and shades which have shaped London's journey thorugh history into the present day.
A truly invaluable book for lovers of art, history, photography or urban geography, this beautifully illustrated title tells a rich and fascinating story of the history of this great and ever-changing city.
