London, at first glance, may not appear an obvious home for butterflies. This book, based on a London-wide survey, illustrates the range of habitats within the UK’s capital city, the butterflies that it supports and the potential to enhance the city environment. Photographs illustrate the butterflies in their habitats throughout London.
"[...] This is an engaging and attractive book, although as a non-Londoner I believe a title The Butterflies of Greater London would be more precise. It is well-researched and supported by a tremendous effort from resident 'butterfly watchers' with a general interest in natural history. Importantly, it represents a concise account of the 'here and now' which will be of immense comparative value to future monitors as time passes and the climate warms. It is highly recommended."
– John Tennent, Atropos 76
