London in Store

Preface by Hattie Ellis

| ‘The perfect gift for the shopaholic … Quirky Britishness at its best’ | | – The Sunday Times |
| ‘A delightful look at the capital’s eclectic retail artistry’ | | – The Independent on Sunday |
Following the same format as the cult hit Paris in Store, this quirky look at 100 of London’s offbeat shops and shop windows is a delightful record of a disappearing world, a refreshing counterpoint to the increasingly globalized, world of 21st-century shops and shopping experiences.
This snapshot of authentic, non-corporate London Features a wide range of businesses, from the mainstream – Agent Provocateur and Lamborghini – to the defiantly idiosyncratic, for example taxidermists ‘Get Stuffed’ and Miss Hughes’s sweetie stall at Spitalfields Market.
