Expect steamed up buses at nighttime or wild swimmers in a lesser known lake... New structures being built, old ones being torn down... New music scenes bubbling up under the surface and whole communities you didn't know existed.

Written by freelance journalist Rachel Segal Hamilton – who has written extensively on photography for The British Journal of Photography, VICE, The Telegraph, The Royal Photographic Society Journal and Professional Photography – the book shows "London as it is today, and as you've never seen it before."

Unseen London by Rachel Segal Hamilton is published by Hoxton Mini Press and costs £26. Find out more at hoxtonminipress.com.
