The Traditional Shops & Restaurants of London: An Alternative London Travel Guide
A while ago, I was sent a copy of The Traditional Shops & Restaurants of London, a book which celebrates the city’s rich heritage and offers a refreshing perspective of contemporary London. Eugenia Bell, the author, has selected a broad range of establishments which evoke historical London in the modern age. She doesn’t simply applaud old business for being old; rather, she applauds those that operate their business in an old-fashioned way. In her words, they are “establishments that celebrate their history less for the tourists it may attract and more for the sheer pleasure of making and selling things in traditional ways.”
