The stories behind the100 strangest and most enigmatic buildings of London are unveiled in this informative review. The structures addressed range from public works to little-known private holdings, and include a hidden 300ft tower in Kensington and a medieval hall in Chelsea that was once home to a king before being moved brick by brick from the city to escape demolition. Other structures include an arts center built of old shipping containers as well as acres of secret underground government offices. Eye-opening and playful, this is a look at Londons most unique architecture.
