One hundred portraits of an old city in a very new way. Dr James Cheshire is a geographer with a passion for London and its data.

Reviews for London: The Information Capital: 100 Maps and Graphics that Will Change How You View the City
A witty, well-written, well-designed view of the city, with enlightening and often surprising perspectives
New Scientist
Fascinating
London Evening Standard
You can only imagine and get a sense of how much research and data collection must have been behind this project. It is a fascinating dissection of London life as we know it
The London Magazine
A monumental work... Its pages are to dip into, to linger over and to return to time and again. It's hard to imagine tiring of them.
Management Today
Brilliantly compelling...The Information Capital is a tour de force in the modern use of graphics to make a point
London Evening Standard
You know how you've always wanted a coffee-table book that translates lots of complex social data about London into a series of gorgeously illustrated infographics? Well it's finally arrived.
Time Out
This is London as you've never seen it before
Independent
The book is infinitely compelling, one you'll return to time and again, and full of 'wow, you have to see this' moments. It reinforces the notion that information really can be beautiful...
Londonist
