Following the same format as the cult hit Paris in Store, this quirky look at one hundred of London's offbeat shops and shop windows is a colourful antidote to corporate blandness. The businesses featured range from such popular successes as Agent Provocateur and Lamborghini to the idiosyncratic, for example the taxidermists `Get Stuffed' on the Essex Road, or Miss Hughes's Sweetie Stall at Spitalfields Market. Some of the shops are collapsing under heaps of merchandise; others are neatly stacked and arranged with shopkeeperly precision, creating geometric patterns out of everyday objects. Juxtaposed against each photograph is the shop's calling card, which details the shop's name and location, so the reader can track down the store if they so choose. Much of modern London is succumbing to the uniformity of the high street and the ubiquity of the chainstore. This book is a precious record of the shops that are bucking the trend.
