Media Reviews
'Mr Pratt blends a mixture of classically beautiful pictures of the river along with some of the notable sights and places of interest that dot the banks on its way through the capital. It's a great book for anyone interested in the river and its moods.' Surrey Herald (February 2010) 'With its stylish design, beautiful photography and quirky captions, this gorgeous coffee table book is the perfect gift for inland waterways enthusiasts, as well as tourists and Londoners.' All at Sea (February 2010) 'It's extraordinary how much variety there is and this book is teeming with great photography and fascinating information, providing a rare insight into both the well-loved and the relatively unexplored aspects of boating in London' Boat Mart (April 2010) 'Finding the perfect book for someone is only easy if they have dropped a hint or have a known hobby, but this one would be welcomed by any Londoner, London-lover or indeed general enthusiast for Britain's waterways.' The Lady (March 2010) 'The hefty volume will make a great addition to the collection of all inland waterway enthusiasts or a handsome and valued gift for any Londoner.' Maritime Journal (March 2010) One which might inspire the reader to explore and look again at the iconic Thames views as well as seek out the lesser known waterway scenes in the capital. South East Walker 'The author has done a splendid job of selecting a set of photographs showing the beauty of both the Thames and adjoining canals of our capital city. This is an excellent book. Recommended to all readers, and I would love to go and hire a narrow boat, take this book along as a reference, and enjoy the tranquility of the canals.' Nautical Magazine (June 2010) 'A beautiful book, including not only stunning pictures, but also truly fascinating information!' The Little Ship Club (Winter 2010) 'Evocative and pin sharp pictures portray all aspects of the Thames, including docks, basins, historic houses and a range of leisure activity.' Thames Guardian Magazine (Winter 2010) 'Highly recommended' Canoeist (December 2010) 'Beautifully illustrated, this book combines photographs, maps and text to reveal the beauty and utility of London's waterways.'
