Stucco

Left London

William Eckersley & Alexander Shields (2005 – 2006)

Shot over an intensive 12 month period, this is a photographic portrayal of abandoned buildings across the capital showing an otherwise hidden side of city life. Like all urban areas, London has an established cycle of decay and renewal, however with the forthcoming 2012 Olympics, it is currently embarking on the most ambitious redevelopment plan in its history. Now that the bulldozers and builders have transformed many of these locations, we can only hope the improvements have been worth it. Please see details of the book here.
