Reviews
"Hancock's illustrations are really pleasing to the eye, deftly capturing various iconic buildings around the city, and often supplying fun trivia tidbits alongside. It's a really enjoyable way to discover or revisit iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Shard, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, and of course, Big Ben."

"For those who love to walk or bike, this book is a carry-along delight. Turn off Google Maps. Get lost in the book. Get found in the London you've never seen before. Hancock's quirky, humorous, and artful travelogue is a journey through an illustrator's wonderfully whacky mind."

I love the simple and stylized look that James has used for his drawings. . . [All the Buildings in London] is a wonderful book for sketchbook lovers. I hope to see more in the future."

"Hancock's previous illustrative love letter to New York was so popular that the Australian artist elected to take his show across the pond - part Roald Dahl whimsy, part architectural study, Hancock's offbeat style masterfully captures everything from Buckingham Palace to the London Eye. Impossible not to smile while reading." -Inside Hook
