Londoners
“A rich and exuberant kaleidoscopic portrait of a great, messy, noisy, daunting, inspiring, maddening, enthralling, constantly shifting Rorschach test of a place…Delightful…In Taylor’s patient and sympathetic hands, regular people become poets, philosophers, [and] orators.”
New York Times Book Review
Craig Taylor, an acclaimed journalist, playwright, and writer, spent five years exploring the city and listening to its residents to create this amazingly rich portrait of London.
Here are the voices of London—rich and poor, native and immigrant, women and men. From the woman whose voice announces the stations on the London Underground to the man who plants the trees along Oxford Street; from a Pakistani currency trader to a Guardsman at Buckingham Palace—together these voices paint a vivid, epic, and wholly fresh portrait of twenty-first-century London.
