Living in style : London

Long a center of commerce and culture, London continues to be a magnet for dynamic and creative individuals. Nothing typifies this diversity and verve better than the capital's many incredible living spaces.
This book takes you up-close and personal with interiors unparalleled anywhere in the world. Ranging from stately classical to forward-looking style, these images unveil some of the capital's most noteworthy residences. Although widely different, they all have that undefinable London attitude-a mixture of comfort and glamour that's hard to replicate. That typical English eccentricity is seen in unusual choices of materials-and some pretty interesting juxtapositions.
