A 23rd Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries.
Londres ; Boutiques Iconiques
London and I share a story that has lasted twenty years. So when a book comes out about its iconic addresses, I don’t resist for long. Behind the prestigious shop windows and legendary signs, the British capital hides confidential places full of charm. There you find the country’s oldest bookshop, the oldest hatter in the world and the royal family’s perfumer. This book reveals these iconic and singular addresses. A true exploration of the hidden treasures of London (in French).
Un Grand Week-End à Londres
A pocket guide to explore London differently, between must-see addresses and more secret places. Walks through authentic districts, gourmet getaways and unusual experiences, such as a pond swim or a costumed tour, punctuate its pages. The best addresses are gathered there: cupcakes, British fashion, typical pubs, fish and chips and afternoon teas. Each district can be discovered at your own pace, between culture, nature and shopping. A practical notebook and maps keep everything at hand.
Tout pour Préparer son Voyage à Londres
This guide gathers London’s must-see sites, with a historical summary, cultural explanations and inspiring photographs. Varied itineraries adapt to the length of the stay, means of transport and interests, whether cultural, unusual or artistic. Several detailed maps make it easier to find your way and practical tips enrich trip planning. Finally, themed features offer ideas for original accommodation and family-friendly activities.
Londres ; Petit Atlas Hédoniste
Exploring pub culture, a pillar of British social life, strolling the cobbled lanes of South Kensington, tasting modern British food, understanding the London Underground or following the trail of brutalism… This guide invites you to discover London differently, between iconic places and singular experiences. The Petits Atlas Hédonistes offer a sensitive, curious approach to travel. Division by district, clear maps, themed features and itineraries let you explore the city at your own pace, without missing the essentials.
Eat Londres ; Restaurants, Shops and 100% Food Markets
Tasting the best fish & chips in London or enjoying an authentic English breakfast can be as essential as visiting Tate Modern or Tower Bridge. This gourmet notebook by Annabelle Schachmes gathers the best addresses to eat well in London. Must-visit gastro pubs, street food markets, sweet shops and renowned English cheesemongers sit side by side. After exploring the city district by district, the author also shares the favourites of chefs such as Hélène Darroze, Grégory Marchand and Oded Oren. Original culinary experiences, such as tea time at a museum, complete this invitation to discovery. As a bonus, five iconic London recipes, including fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding, close the guide.
A non-exhaustive selection of books about London that I enjoyed and that are already part of my bookcase. Each book has its strengths and took me travelling through its pages.
