Description: Illustrator Joel Holland created his first book NYC Storefronts because he was missing all the places he couldn t visit in his own hometown during Covid lockdown. Now he's set his sights on London a city that feels at once ancient and modern traditional and quirky homey and hip. Made with the same energy as NYC Storefronts this book has a distinctly English vibe. It divides the city into five navigable sections (Central North East South and West) and highlights its diverse mix of cultures. In each chapter is a sprawling selection of shops brought to life by Holland's charming drawings and London - based journalist Rosie Hewitson's captivating descriptions. This collection of more than two hundred shopfronts runs the gamut of old to modern - day London: stately bookshops umbrella stores tailors hatters and pubs but also trendy restaurants bars and boutiques. A number of places are deeply profiled including storied jazz club Ronnie Scott s; Hatchards the UK's oldest - surviving bookshop; Caribbean record store People's Sound; Rowan's Tenpin Bowling Alley; beloved Turkish restaurant Mangal II; and gender - affirming hairdressers Open Barbers; each one is lovingly detailed in Holland's gentle tones. An informative guide to discovering all the Big Smoke has to offer this is also a lasting keepsake for London lovers of every age and style.
