An array of contributors, including poets, journalists, teachers, historians, wanderers, drinkers, photographers, and foodies, offer a selection of personal and subjective readings of the city since the late '70s. These essays chart a variety of literal and metaphorical explorations through modern and postmodern London, showing how it works, and how it fails to work; what makes it vibrant, and what makes it seedy. From West End galleries to strip pubs in Shoreditch; from millionaires' loft apartments to buses and suburban Tube stops; from film, fashion, and gay clubs to punk bands, ruinous factories, pigeon filth, and the vagaries of weather, \u003ci\u003eLondon from Punk to Blair\u003c\/i\u003e embraces the city like no other book has before. This revised edition includes a new introduction by editor Joe Kerr that brings the book up to date and gives the essays context for the post-recession world. \"Full of insight into the diverse experiences that constitute the recent history of London.\"--\u003ci\u003eArchitects' Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \"This rewarding collection brings into clear focus those dramatic shifts in the fortunes of the metropolis. . . .
