The definitive illustrated guide to art deco, modernist and brutalist architecture ​in London's suburbs
From Barnet to Richmond, explore the history of London's Metro-Land

A Guide to Modernism in Metro-Land is your essential pocket guide to the modernist architecture of London's suburbs. Inspired by John Betjeman's 1973 documentary Metro-Land and the writing of Ian Nairn, it examines the growth of the city's suburbs from the 1920s up to the present day – a story that is closely interwoven with the development of innovative architecture in Britain – through its most remarkable modernist buildings.

Featuring work by architects such as Charles Holden, Erno Goldfinger and Norman Foster, the book covers nine London boroughs and two counties: Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Enfield, Haringey, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is designed to help you explore Metro-Land's modernist heritage, featuring short descriptions of each building alongside maps of the areas covered, and more than 100 colour photographs.

Born in Reading, Joshua Abbott works as a photographic printer in Hoxton and lives in Welwyn Garden City. Modernism in Metro-Land began as a project at the University of Westminster, and it now encompasses a website, guided tours and this book. @mod_in_metro
