This interdisciplinary study examines the interplay between the tangible and imagined aspects of London, highlighting how the city's socially stratified and gendered landscape was influenced by consumer culture and capitalism. It delves into the physical spaces inhabited by Londoners and contrasts them with an 'Unreal City' that shaped their perceptions and behaviors, revealing the complex dynamics of metropolitan visual culture. Through detailed textual analysis, it offers insights into how these two Londons coexist and interact.
