Although London as a whole is an organic entity that grew piecemeal, without the rigorous logic of Manhattan or theatre of Haussmann\u2019s Paris, it\u2019s the only in the City that on can truly access an urban experience that predates town-planning by several centuries. Its knotted streets can confuse even seasoned veterans. Throw in a dense network of interconnected courts and one can wander for hours. The book is divided into three sections for simple reference (Morning, Noon, and Night), with everything needed for a better quality of life in the city. The book honors those London landmarks that preserve craftsmanship and great service.<\/p>\n

Fitzdares CEO William Woodhams’ long-held desire has come true with the publication of the handbook. It will be mandatory reading for Londoners, immigrants, and selective tourists alike this decade, as it is told by William Wolfe, a fictional combination of Will Woodhams, his late father Rod Woodhams, and author Martin Williams. It is the ultimate survey of the best on offer in London today, including top tailors, outfitters, shoemakers, bars, hotels, and restaurants, as well as stationers, florists, wine-dealers, grocers, and dry cleaners.<\/p>\n

There is more to London than Mayfair and St James\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPermit me to tender one final word of advice, as valuable to the seasoned Londoner as it is to the neophyte. While discernment is a quality to be commended, snobbery for the sake of snobbery is not. There\u2019s infinitely more to London than Mayfair and St James\u2019s. It\u2019s my belief that the pukka and polished can only be properly savoured when they\u2019re interleaved with the quotidian but characterful.\u201d<\/p>\n

A good grooming brand can make you feel like a new man<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA wash and brush up at Trumper\u2019s or Truefitt & Hill leaves me feeling like a new man. Should my hangover prove particularly recalcitrant, I drag my sorry bones to DR Harris. Originally concocted in the 1860s, Harris\u2019s legendary \u2018Morning Reviver\u2019 is available to those in direst need. \u2018Once the draught has been drunk,\u2019 the marketing spiel informs us, \u2018any signs of jadedness will dissipate, and all will be right with the world.\u2019 I\u2019ve tested it often. It\u2019s yet to fail me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always line your stomach before a night on London<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot without reason, I\u2019ve referred to the morning-after hangover. Although their recollection of how it was incurred might be patchy, I doubt there\u2019s a Londoner alive who can\u2019t describe to you, in excruciating detail, the symptoms of the worst one they ever had. My own story is a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of insufficiently lining one\u2019s stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A modern man\u2019s wardrobe is built on quality shirting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo stroll Jermyn Street of an afternoon is to run the gamut of English style at the most rarefied level. More than once, I\u2019ve reflected that my progress through life has, quite literally, been measured by the calibre of the shirt on my back: from the ready-mades of Charles Tyrwhitt to the bespoke nirvana represented by Budd in the Piccadilly Arcade. Each of the staging posts between \u2013 Hawes & Curtis, Hilditch & Key, Turnbull & Asser \u2013 has coincided with a distinct chapter in my autobiography it would require more space than is available to me now to relate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an increasingly impersonal city, pursue the personal touch<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn an age of incessant and frequently importunate communication, I advocate a ceremonial approach to life administration. Promptly penned notes, on cards or paper from Smythson or Mount Street Printers, keep my chimneypiece bristling with stiffies. Whether I\u2019m thanking, romancing or apologising, I\u2019m grateful to possess the number of a reliable florist. Make those two reliable florists. Occasionally it\u2019s necessary to keep one\u2019s orders, and their recipients, tactfully separate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
