This book by a new photographer continues from 1980 as the regeneration of the East End accelerates to an unprecedented degree. Tim Brown, a driver on London Underground's Central Line, spent his spare time photographing the city's financial centre and transport hubs, including the Docklands area just before the developers seized control of this vast industrial wasteland. His subtle, understated (and never-before-seen) colour images are a nostalgic record of a corner of the capital that has changed almost beyond recognition.

Each Christmas between 1988 and 1995, Barry Lewis travelled to South Beach, Miami, to trade the harsh London winter for a tropical paradise. There he photographed the diverse (and eccentric) people who made up the community: fashionistas, newly-arrived Cubans (following the Meriel exodus in 1980), Jewish retirees from New York, drag queens and the gay population who flocked to Ocean Drive for the party scene. Lewis' images are accompanied by quotes from the subjects.

Photographer Joshua Blackburn has made it his mission to document every remaining launderette in London - more than 300. As high streets grow ever more homogenous, these are one of the few businesses that retain their striking individuality. But they're an endangered species: many close every year in the UK. 'The colours, signs, machines, surfaces and geometry are impossible to resist,' says Blackburn, whose project started as an online blog. Launderama, which features a selection of photos alongside an introductory essay and map, captures the colourful design and community spirit of the humble launderette.

Vintage photographs taken in London's East End that are full of surprise and humanity. Paul Trevor is one of the unsung heroes of British photography and this is his unique collection of photos of one of the most iconic corners of London. Brick Lane is photographed more than almost any other street in the capital yet these elegant black and whites taken in the 70s, 80s and 90s capture something different: a now vanished era freedom and joy and full of grit. This is honest street photography in the very best tradition of Cartier-Bresson.
