Introduction

They are places brought to life by the creative eye and searching mind of Peter Dazeley, celebrated photographer and lifetime Londoner. ‘Uncovered’ does not mean the disclosure of a private place, because these buildings and sites are all available to visit without special insider access. The common thread throughout is largely the photographer’s ability to uncover a fresh perspective on a special piece of London. The subjects are eclectic, encompassing buildings, monuments in plain sight and walks, with some places famous and others obscure.

Historic Homes, Syon House

Syon House, which belongs to the Duke of Northumberland, is famous for a series of beautiful and civilised rooms, and also as a focus of turbulent and violent events in British history.

Places of Worship, Westminster Cathedral

Westminster Cathedral’s horizontal bands of red brick and white Portland stone are its visual signature and part of its neo-Byzantine architectural style. Its lofty campanile tower and long and tall continuous nave caused a great stir on completion in 1903.

Remarkable Shops, L. Cornelissen & Son

L. Cornelissen & Son is a supplier of artists’ materials on Great Russell Street, not far from the British Museum. The charm of the store is in the Victorian shop-fittings, which are exactly those created by the founders, and also in the range of specialist artists materials they contain; drawer after drawer is filled with pigments, brushes, prepared colour, gold leaf and printmaking equipment.
