The New York skyline is arguably one of the most distinctive on Earth. At night, however, the city’s numerous landmarks are transformed from the familiar into the new. Following the success of Merrell’s London at Night, award-winning aerial photographer Jason Hawkes offers a dramatic, night-time perspective on one of the world’s most iconic locations. From the vantage point of a helicopter, Hawkes captures the magical, almost abstract quality of such familiar sights as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and the Empire State Building as seen after dark, as well as revealing some of New York’s less well-known vistas. Featuring an informative introduction and extended captions by the New York Times journalist Christopher Gray, New York at Night is a unique and often breathtaking record of the city that truly never sleeps.

Allowing us to travelling mid-air through London, these photographs lead us to a thoroughly new appreciation of a city that has always been foremost in people's imagination. The city of the great English novelists is sure to be found, but these splendid aerial photographs show us a complex city of contrasts that is also home to Europe's most ethnically diverse population. An urban cluster without regular order, the city is actually a collection of villages that grew up around Roman Londinium, and today each has its own history, character, architecture, and even rhythm - and all are illustrated in the beautiful photographs. In these pages, Westminster and the modern skyscrapers in the City bear witness to London's regality and power. There are also the Georgian terraces in the rich West End and the recent architectural experiments on the South Bank and in the Docklands, where museums, restaurants, clubs, and bars have replaced the old wharves and warehouses. The East End, the boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, the green villages that line the Thames between Greenwich and Hampton, and small neighbourhoods that seem lost in time all come to life in these sumptuous pages. Readers will be sure to savour this book, discovering new itineraries upon each reading.
