A new book, "London Rising," collects photos taken in not-quite-legal fashion from the tops of London's tallest buildings and structures.
A post by Bradley L. Garrett shares enough photos from the new book London Rising: Illicit Photos from the City's Heights to get the heart pounding. According to the publisher's website, the book collects photos taken "a well-respected team of adventurers" that "embarked on scores of not-quite-legal investigations inside, below, and above the city’s hidden infrastructures."
Garrett's post samples the images they collected on those investigations, including images taken from the Walkie-Talkie, The Shard, the Battersea Power Station, and the British Museum, among many other.
