This book is a record of a lifetime spent  observing, drawing and getting to know the city, bringing together work  from across his whole career, from his earliest sketches to watercolours  painted just a few months ago.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is London as it was, and as it is  today: the Thames, Hampstead Heath; the streets, canals, markets and  people of his home of Camden Town; and at the heart of it all, his  studio and the tools of his work. Accompanied by reflections on the  process of drawing and personal thoughts on the ever-changing city, this  is a celebration of London, and the joy of noticing, looking and  capturing the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'David has spent a lifetime depicting with wit and affection a London he has made his own' Alan Bennett \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  'He delivers a poetry of exultant concentration .
