The magazine of the photo-essay
October 2020 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
With the virus in our midst and the internet our escape, what is the point of a
book about the best independent shops in London?
Well, precisely because they are that: independent and oh-so real. These 54
owner-run shops are unique, curated and deeply personal. In a time of social
distance and online shopping, going out to these havens of taste is not only
satisfying, it’s socially important. Whether you are looking for chic homeware,
wellcurated clothing, rare records or the best gifts, this book – packed with
original photography, insider tips and interviews with the owners – will tell you
exactly where to go.
The guide books in the ‘opinionated’ series give our unashamed opinion about
the best places to visit in London. Information is easy to come by. Reliable opinion
with great photography is more precious.
