Synopsis

James Sherwood's Discriminating Guide to London is a very 21st-century comment on city style. Sherwood, author of a number of definitive publications on English sartorial style, is the quintessential man-about-town. This is a selective and opinionated guide informed by superlative taste, direct experience and many years of partaking in the very best that the world's most exciting metropolis has to offer. The book is inspired by a 1970s publication of the same name by another James Sherwood – no relation – who is today the owner of the Orient-Simplon Express and luxury hotels and restaurants around the world. He contributes a foreword.
