A propos de cet article

Condition: (see pics.) The book is in like new condition. Synopsis:Profiles of more than fifty establishments that have supplied goods and services to royaltyand the merely discriminatingfor more than one hundred years "A gentleman," Winston Churchill once observed, "buys his hats at Locks, his shoes at Lobbs, his shirts at Harvie and Hudson, his suits at Huntsman and his cheese at Paxton and Whitfield." Luckily for the gentlemenand gentlewomenamong us, all of these shops and dozens more are still in business, providing the traditional British goods and food that they've been supplying Londoners for a century or more.

Bespoke shirt-makers, hatters, haberdashers, perfumers, bookstores, chemists, an umbrella maker, and chocolatiers are only a few of the small specialist shops included, most of which are located in the most quaint and beautiful settings in London. Also included are traditional restaurants and bars, ranging from picturesque pubs and "caffes" to fish'n'chips stands and eel-and-pie shops.…
