Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. This book features profiles of over fifty establishments that have catered to royalty and discerning customers for more than a century. Winston Churchill famously noted the importance of quality, mentioning shops like Locks for hats and Lobbs for shoes. Thankfully, these storied businesses continue to thrive, offering traditional British goods and food to Londoners. Among the highlighted establishments are over thirty historic stores and around twenty eateries. For instance, John Lobb, Bootmaker in Mayfair, is described as "the most beautiful shop in the world" by Esquire, while Paxton and Whitfield, established in 1742, is renowned for its artisanal cheeses. The Grapes Pub, dating back to 1720, was frequented by Charles Dickens, who immortalized it in his work. Many of these establishments hold the Royal Warrant, a mark of excellence dating back to the 15th century. The book showcases a variety of bespoke shops, including shirt-makers, hatters, perfumers, and chocolatiers, all situated in charming locations across London.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Condition: (see pics.) The book is in like new condition. Synopsis:Profiles of more than fifty establishments that have supplied goods and services to royaltyand the merely discriminatingfor more than one hundred years "A gentleman," Winston Churchill once observed, "buys his hats at Locks, his shoes at Lobbs, his shirts at Harvie and Hudson, his suits at Huntsman and his cheese at Paxton and Whitfield." Luckily for the gentlemenand gentlewomenamong us, all of these shops and dozens more are still in business, providing the traditional British goods and food that they've been supplying Londoners for a century or more. More than thirty venerable stores, along with another twenty or so eateries, are profiled in The Historic Shops and Restaurants of London. "The most beautiful shop in the world . . ." is how Esquire magazine describes John Lobb, Bootmaker's opulent premises in Mayfair. Less grand, but no less quaint, is Paxton and Whitfield, now on Jermyn Street, which dates to 1742 when cheese monger Stephen Cullum sets up his stall in Clare Market. (Now the shop sells the most prized artisanal cheeses in Great Britain.) Have a drink at the long, narrow little Grapes Pub. Built in 1720, on the site of a previous pub, the Grapes was a working class tavern that Charles Dickens knew well. As a child, he was made to stand on a table and sing to the customers. As an adult, he immortalized it as the Six Jolly Fellowship Porters pub in Our Mutual Friend. These are only a few of the many of the establishments described that are holders of the Royal Warrant, dating back to the 15th century and still granted today to recognize excellence and quality. Bespoke shirt-makers, hatters, haberdashers, perfumers, bookstores, chemists, an umbrella maker, and chocolatiers are only a few of the small specialist shops included, most of which are located in the most quaint and beautiful settings in London. Also included are traditional restaurants and bars, ranging from picturesque pubs and "caffes" to fish'n'chips stands and eel-and-pie shops.…
