Paved with Gold

Paved with Gold. This book surveys the architecture, history and institutions of the engine room of one of the most dynamic cities on Earth. Each of the eight distinctive areas that make up the West End is covered in depth: Mayfair, St James’s, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, Soho, Covent Garden, Westminster and Belgravia, set out street-by-street in alphabetical order to make the book easy to search. There are telling anecdotes in the lively text, and hundreds of photographs including those reproduced in the 16-page colour section.
