London Precincts

Arguably the world’s biggest, multicultural hub, London is a city with many worlds rolled into one, and while one visit is never enough, it can be overwhelming to even the most seasoned traveller. Having called London home for the past 24 years, Perth-born journalist McCarthy cuts through the chaos to reveal the best places to eat, drink, shop and play across 18 precincts, without missing the key cultural spots. Exploring the likes of Camden, Covent Garden, Soho and Chelsea, each precinct comes with a map so you can find everything from hidden neighbourhood gems and quirky shops for unique gifts, to the most lavish spots for afternoon tea and evening tipples. This is the ultimate London insider’s point of view, giving you the best out of this dynamic, non-stop city. Hardie Grant Books, RRP: $39.99
