A little Gem...,
By
This review is from: London Caffs (Paperback)
...if you are in the market for a book that gives you something of London that the usual, "Madame Tussaud is a must" guides don't then you must buy this!
It speaks of more than it's simple title suggests, for behind the facade of the greasy spoons, iconic British naffness and family run workhorses it describes is a fast dissapearing aspect of British culture, slowly being munched away by Burger dominance and Chain Gastro Pubs. These places have an honest history and intigrity that speak so much of how Brits once supped and comunicated. I would recommend a stay in London should include a fact finding walk and munch around some these cultural and architectural survivors. Before we know it these places will be mocked up in Museums when we realise their significance too late. Visitors wishing to discover "real, workaday London" couldn't do much better. A bonus is delightfully poetic writing style and stunning Photography. |
