{"product_id":"london-shopfronts","title":"LONDON SHOPFRONTS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book has a distinctly English vibe. It divides the city into five navigable sections (Central, North, East, South, and West), and highlights its diverse mix of cultures. In each chapter is a sprawling selection of shops, brought to life by Holland’s charming drawings and London-based journalist Rosie Hewitson’s captivating descriptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of more than two hundred shopfronts runs the gamut of old to modern-day London: stately bookshops, umbrella stores, tailors, hatters, and pubs, but also trendy restaurants, bars, and boutiques. A number of places are deeply profiled, including storied jazz club Ronnie Scott’s; Hatchards, the UK’s oldest- surviving bookshop; Caribbean record store People’s Sound; Rowan’s Tenpin Bowling Alley; beloved Turkish restaurant Mangal II; and gender-affirming hairdressers Open Barbers; each one is lovingly detailed in Holland’s gentle tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn informative guide to discovering all the Big Smoke has to offer, this is also a lasting keepsake for London lovers of every age and style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66917999411315,"sku":"9783791389158","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1721\/7813\/files\/9783791389158.jpg?v=1792261729","url":"https:\/\/shoparteffect.com\/products\/london-shopfronts","provider":"Art Effect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
