Helpfully arranged by area - north, east, south, west, and central - each section offers a curated selection of shop types, from specialist fashion boutiques to charming family-run delis.

Her passion for London's independent retail scene is evident as she introduces unique shops and quaint spots tucked away on side streets that might otherwise be overlooked. Michelle's insights encourage you to see familiar parts of London with fresh eyes. This guide is more than just a shopping book; it's an invitation to explore and appreciate the creative and entrepreneurial shopkeepers that we have in London. -- Louise Gorrod * Simple Things * As a shopkeeper and photographer, Michelle possesses a unique talent for creating and capturing visual stories.
