What's so unique about the houses of London? With row upon row of brick terraces, how do the capital's most stylish people make their homes stand out? And how do those living in conversions amplify their craft to design interiors that are truly distinctive?
House London showcases 50 of the most inspiring contemporary interiors in the city today. Created by some of the best designers, architects, and creatives around, this book celebrates the amazing variety and vision that lies behind sometimes quite ordinary facades.

Some homes will provide worthy inspiration, and others a level of drama most of us can only dream of. With beautiful photography throughout, each home draws on something uniquely 'London' and supporting text profiles home owners, architects, and designers and highlights the architectural bones that make up the home.This book will be a must have for anyone who loves snooping around beautiful homes, or looking for design inspiration.
