Infused with the spirit of history, yet undeniably of-the-moment,
the city’s loveliest ancient corners and hippest new addresses
are now described by those who know them best:
° A barrister takes you to the wine merchant who supplies
claret to the Queen;
° A celebrated writer directs you to Oscar Wilde’s favorite restaurant;
° An illustrious designer divulges his luxurious “connoisseur’s
afternoon;”
° An eminent art historian describes one tof the most idiosyncratic and
memorable museums in the world.
Whether leading the reader to a secret garden or a pub distinguished by its “triumphant seediness,” City Secrets London reveals, through anecdote and personal insight, a wealth of little known gems.
“City Secrets guides are unlike any others on the market...in this case, a formidable cross section of London’s intelligentsia...share their inside information on the parts of London they know best, the sorts of places that they might reveal to visiting friends, the keys that might unlock some of the city’s meaning.”—The Sunday Times (London)
