Reviews
The book - which has been expertly edited by Hossein Amirsadeghi and features an essay by Gregor Muir, director of London's ICA - also gives insights on the tribal dynamics and unique drive that underpin the city's creative landscape., The 100 finely crafted interviews and profiles here focus not only on traditional categories of visual and performing artists, but reach further to tap into less obvious wellsprings of an urban creative scene. London Burning provides an endlessly energizing experience... A living, sizzling sketchbook.

Synopsis
London Burning celebrates Britain's capital as today's international headquarters for creativity and innovation. The book features more than 100 new interviews and hundreds of specially commissioned photographs that introduce creative personalities young and old, highbrow and populist, Establishment figures and newbies, set against the variegated scenes they inhabit. Tracing the city's sparking of change across architecture, cinema, theatre, literature, dance, fashion, media, music, technology, design, and the visual and culinary arts, London Burning also explores the dynamics that have always underpinned the city's creative scene and the forces behind the city's unique drive. The book draws on a broad spectrum of people in the public eye and behind the scenes, among them Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate; sculptor Antony Gormley; Alastair Spalding, Chief Executive of Sadler's Wells; artists Gilbert & George; Alan Yentob, Creative Director of the BBC; director Guy Ritchie; Matthew Slotover, the founder of Frieze Art Fair; groundbreaking chefs Fergus Henderson and Ruthie Rogers; British Vogue Editor Alexandra Shulman; critic Jackie Wullschlager; artist and Reith Lecturer Grayson Perry; conceptual guru Hans Ulrich Obrist and many more. London Burning brings this powerful creative center to life through the eyes of its most influential and innovative denizens., Having invented the Swinging '60s, punk rock in the '70s and Cool Britannia in the '90s, London in the 2010s is firing up the engine of renewal yet again. London Burning celebrates Britain's capital as today's international HQ for creativity and innovation. London Burning traces the city's innovation across architecture, cinema and theatre, literature, dance, fashion, media and music, technology, design, and the visual and culinary arts, also exploring the tribal dynamics that have always underpinned the city's creative scene and the forces behind that city's unique drive. In a time of extreme economic challenges, why and how has London become a creative universe running off its own special brand of fuel? How does it continue to regenerate, to confound the naysayers who pop up every decade or so foretelling its decline? And where is it all heading, given the certain economic, social, political and structural tectonic shifts that lie ahead? London Burning features one hundred probing interviews and profiles, which introduce creative personalities young and old, highbrow and populist, establishment figures and newbies, set against the scenes they inhabit. It draws on a broad spectrum of people in the public eye and behind the scenes, among them Nicholas Serota, Antony Gormley, Peter Ackroyd, Jude Kelly, Alistair Spalding, Alan Yentob, David Chipperfield, Mathew Slotover, Fergus Henderson, Ruthie Rogers, Mark Hix, Alexandra Shulman, Jackie Wullschlager, Grayson Perry, Tinie Tempah, Roksanda Ilinic ... and the list goes on. As an added bonus, London Burning investigates the city's ever-spinning creative solar system through nearly seven hundred specially commissioned photographs. The urban scene is thus brought alive through its creative residents, with hoteliers, rappers, ballerinas, restaurateurs and fashionistas enlivening the mix. Unlocking secret passions and embracing a range of lifestyles from the most outrageous to the most ascetic, London Burning celebrates the feast of creativity being cooked by the people making tomorrow's news., An exploration of the personalities, diversity, and pulsing energy that make London an international hub for creativity and innovation
