Survey of London
Survey of London is a long-running and highly respected series of publications that document and analyze the architectural and historical development of the city of London. First published in the early 20th century, the Survey provides in-depth studies of various areas and buildings within the city, offering insights into the history, design, and significance of London’s urban landscape. The project was initiated in 1894 by the London County Council (LCC) and later continued by the Greater London Council (GLC) and other entities. Its primary goal was to record and preserve the history of London’s architecture, as well as to examine the social and cultural impact of its built environment. The Survey has become an invaluable resource for scholars, architects, urban planners, and historians, offering detailed descriptions, photographs, and illustrations of London's buildings and neighborhoods.
