"你已经看过皮卡迪利广场（Piccadilly Circus）的明亮灯光和上面的上面灰沉沉的天空。你已经看过白金汉宫和大本钟，黑色出租车和红色电话亭。但是，游客所看到的并不是全部。

隐藏在“雾都”蜿蜒小巷中的是游客很少有机会看到的世界。这本具有启发性的新书汇集了30个当代摄影作品，这些作品展示了这座首都不为人知的美丽而令人惊讶的方面。每件作品都会带你踏上一场导游手册中找不到的视觉之旅。黄昏时在汉普特斯西斯(Hampstead Heath)公园神奇的半光中漫步，找到闪电战遗留在城市建筑物上的战斗伤痕。认识住在船上的以运河为家的现代嬉皮士，在仅剩的几个冒险游乐场中玩耍的郊区儿童；像洛瑞画中的人物那样溜达到办公桌旁的通勤者们。从双层巴士的顶层观看戏剧性的街景慢慢展现在眼前，深入地下查看横贯铁路(Crossrail)火车隧道的中间构造。

让世界上**的摄影师向你展示世界上最伟大的城市之一，就像你从未见过这座城市一样。

You've seen the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus, the dull grey skies above. You've seen Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, black cabs and red phone boxes. But the tourist vision isn't the whole story.

Tucked away down the Big Smoke's twisting alleyways are worlds that visitors rarely get to see. This illuminating new book brings together 30 contemporary photography projects that reveal beautiful, surprising hidden sides of the capital. Each one takes the reader on a visual journey that you won't find in the guidebooks. Meander through the magical half-light of Hampstead Heath at dusk and trace the battle scars left on the city's buildings by the Blitz. Meet the boat-dwelling modern hippies who've made the canals their home, the suburban kids on the few remaining adventure playgrounds, the commuters who stroll to their desk jobs like figures in a Lowry painting. Watch from the top floor of a double decker bus as theatrical street scenes unfold, travel deep underground to see the Cross Rail train tunnels midconstruction.

Let the world's best photographers show you one of the world's greatest cities like you've never seen it before.
