"Don't be too hasty in trying to find a definition of the town," wrote the novelist Georges Perec, "It's far too big and there's every chance of getting it wrong." This collection of critical essays from the London Consortium, including interviews with film-maker Patrick Keiller and painter Jock McFadyen, does not attempt to define or exhaust London. Instead Eyeing London includes a highly diverse set of considerations, encompassing Tube advertising, Westway, the Freud Museum, art in the Millennium, Shakespeare's Hamlet, tourist trinkets, wobbly bridges and a vision of ruined London, to form a group that stages a possible itinerary and suggests countless more.
