Wonderfully detailed... A fitting testament to the folly and wonder of human endeavour. -- Claire Looby Irish Times Elborough's book is a fascinating mix of social and architectural history, travelogue and pop culture, but it is his ability to bring to life the disparate and often eccentric characters involved in the story that stands out. -- Ian Critchley Sunday Times An entertaining cultural historian of the Bill Bryson school...very interesting, and crammed with historical trivia. -- Helen Brown Daily Telegraph A style perfectly poised between the flourishes of fiction and simple matters of fact... On the evidence of London Bridge in America, it would probably be justifiable now to proclaim Elborough one of Britain's finest pop cultural historians. -- Ian Sansom Guardian Travis Elborough tells this glorious story with warmth and humour and a great wide-open spirit... Delightful. -- Markus Berkmann Daily Mail
