Nairn's London

The city is never the same, one year to the next, and the annual spate of guides to it come and go. *Nairn’s London,* however, has deservedly *stayed:* ever since its original publication in 1966, Ian Nairn’s 450–entry “personal list of the best things in London” has had the reputation as *the* finest, most stimulating London *vade mecum* of them all. Brilliantly and bitingly written, impassioned in its vision of the city and its history, this is a splendidly unique volume to be treasured by every connoisseur of the ever–changing city.
