This book by a new photographer continues from 1980 as the regeneration of the East End accelerates to an unprecedented degree. Tim Brown, a driver on London Underground''s Central Line, spent his spare time photographing the city''s financial centre and transport hubs, including the Docklands area just before the developers seized control of this vast industrial wasteland. His subtle, understated (and never-before-seen) colour images are a nostalgic record of a corner of the capital that has changed almost beyond recognition.
The community of travellers living under the Westway have their private and unique identity - increasingly under threat from the sweeping shifts in London life - presented across this series of striking and intimate images.
Classic, evocative images of the golden age of kids hanging out in the street making their own fun with the scant materials they had access to, bringing together the work of seven renowned photographers.

London''s Square Mile - also known as the City of London - is both well-known and little known. Millions pass through or work within its winding alleyways and cobbled passages but few are truly aware of its vast power and significance. Together with text written by world-renowned historian David Kynaston, these ethereal photographs of people captured amongst imposing architecture begin to decode one of the most influential and cryptic parts of the capital.

-A rare documentation of London's docklands at a time just before the financial transformation When Mike Seaborne began photographing the Isle of Dogs in the early '80s he was struck by how it retained its traditional industrial character, despite the efforts of Thatcher's reign. His black-and-white photographs reveal an eerily desolate landscape which would soon be home to financial heavyweights and epic skyscrapers like Canary Wharf. They show an area of East London now almost beyond recognition, just before the money moved in.
Published to mark the 10th anniversary of the 2008 global financial crisis, these street photographs are a study of one of the most crucial locations for the world economy: the City of London. Shot over a decade to document the rise and fall of the crash''s aftermath, McLaren has captured these surreal and tense times with a critical and satirical eye.
When a local photographer stumbled upon 1,000s of David Granick''s colour slides in early 2017, he knew he had struck gold. These images capture the post-war streets of Stepney, Whitechapel, Bow and beyond in the warmth of Kodachrome hues at a time when black and white photography was the norm. Left untouched on a library shelf for 37 years, and revealed now for the first time, these photographs show an East London on the cusp of social transition.

I''ve Lived in East London for 86 1/2 years is the story of Joseph Markovitch, a vulnerable old man with a great sense of humour who has lived in Hoxton for his entire life. He left only once, to go to the seaside with his mother. Joe loves Nicolas Cage films, has five sugars in his tea, and he has quite bad catarrh. He is an original ''Eastender''. Dealing with quintessential subject matter such as childhood, art, work, relationships and religion in a playful but touching way, Joseph unknowingly provides a thought-provoking commentary on the state of the modern world.
