London Precincts: A Curated Guide to the City's Best Shops, Eateries, Bars and Other Hangouts

Author(s): Fiona McCarthy

Travel Guides

London is one of the world's greatest cities. It's iconic and dynamic; a vibrant city where the past and present meet in an explosion of art and culture. It's also a city that is constantly on the move. Londoners have never been afraid to venture to new worlds and discover new and wonderful things. This hasn't changed through the centuries. London continues to create and innovate with cutting edge ideas, especially in its food scene, where you can literally taste the world from its diverse offerings, or even be transported to another world completely

Pubs are the beating heart of London and there's practically one on every corner. But the beverages on offer would make any heart beat faster. And once you're full of good food and wine, it's time to hit the shops and enter another stratosphere altogether. Oliver Twist's immortal question has never been more resonant, because you'll definitely want to have more of London

This book features the best eating, drinking and shopping across 19 London precincts, including Covent Garden, King's Cross, Soho and Piccadilly. Precinct maps make this a handy and useful guidebook, while the hardback cover creates a beautiful keepsake.
