Available in most bookshops or online.
Secret gardens, stylish boutique hotels, great design festivals, surprising neighbourhoods to seek out and explore, little-known design museums and historic houses, beautiful bookshops, gorgeous textile stores, quirky specialty stores, memorable restaurants, and other must-see destinations ... London Secrets: Style, Design, Glamour, Gardens is an elegant guide to one of the world's most glorious cities, packaged up in a beautiful, easy-to-pack format that still feels like a glamorous, coffee-table title.
Currently experiencing a wave of popularity (it has recently beaten Paris to the top spot of the Most Visited City in the World, according to surveys by MasterCard and other tourism operators), London is a dichotomy of contrasts -- dramatic and yet discreet, edgy and yet built on heritage brands, and proudly bohemian while still being very, very British. But London is also a mystery in many respects. Like the British people it likes to remain a little reserved. But if you take the time to get to know it, you'll be rewarded with spaces, places and people that will charm and delight. In fact, many of London's most memorable experiences are down its Dickensian lanes, behind grand but anonymous doors, along Thames-side paths, through green parks, or atop enormous garden-enhanced rooftops.
From the secret delights of the little-known National Trust property '575 Wandsworth' to the hidden rose garden of Regent's Park, the atmospheric interior and architectural models of Sir John Soane's apartment, and the haute couture archives of the V&A, stored away in Blythe House, London Secrets will take you on an enthralling journey through design, textiles, boutiques, bookshops, botanical spaces, bars, festivals, fashion, antiques, architecture, and more.
