London is a city of contradiction. To the eyes of the explorer, everything is new and yet everything is old. Tradition rubs shoulders with innovation. Style rubs shoulders with tastelessness. Every corner of the vast British capital boasts a chaotic collection of signs and graphics, which produce a visual spectacle at every turn.
Far from the usual clichés, Made in London compiles a visual cocktail gleaned from the wondrous and varied life of the city. From red phone boxes, to street signs, to local markets, to Theatreland, this neat little book presents London in all its shapes and forms.
Jean-Luc Planche, born 1970, lives in Paris and travels constantly in other cities worldwide. He has published several books as co-author or photographer, including Made in Tokyo and New York, New York.
