is a photographic journey through the capital’s surprisingly rich and diverse manufacturing scene, capturing everything from aircraft interiors to cardboard boxes, and everything in betweenade in London
is a photo essay that will confound urban pessimists. Its subject is London’s manufacturing scene, not 50 or 100 years in the past, but now, in the present day. Shot by photographer Carmel King, with an introduction by Mark Brearley and texts by regular Wallpaper* contributortravels the length and breadth of the capital to find makers big and small from a rich diversity of industries.
The book contains 50 businesses in all, ranging from tiny cottage industries like Jost Haas’s glass eye workshop in Mill Hill to the thriving Brompton factory in Greenford, which makes 75,000 folding bicycles every year. Photography: Carmel King Brearley notes in his introduction that London’s 32 boroughs contain around 4,000 different manufacturers, so this book is necessarily a very small sliver of what’s out there.
As you might expect, there’s a concentrated dose of high-end luxury, in the shape of tailoring, taps, fine stone, hand-printed wallpaper and art glass. But there are also everyday items like tin cans, wire, paint, and even treacle, the last produced at Tate & Lyle’s massive 50-acre site in Silvertown, which makes half of all sugar sold in British shops.
