More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Revelling in the off-beat and eccentric, Londoner Suggs takes us on a nostalgic adventure to explore the disappearing history of his extraordinary home town: from the sharp tailors of Saville Row to the sex traders of Bohemian Soho, by way of quaint and quirky habitats, brilliant but endangered boozers, unique eateries that have introduced the capital to the world's finest foods and a music scene that's dear to his heart.
Drawing on three series of Suggs's ITV programme of the same name, on the Suggs in the City chatshow, and on Suggs's personal experience of loving London, this is the enlightening and highly entertaining story of a living, breathing town and its ability to absorb and adapt over the centuries, seen through the eyes of one of its favourite sons.
About the Author
Suggs is the frontman for Madness, a band that epitomises the sound and soul of London. He is a singer, actor, DJ, television presenter and chatshow host. In 2006 he won the Presenter of the Year award for the Disappearing London television series. And in 2009 Suggs and Madness will be celebrating their thirtieth anniversary.

Suggs loves life (and London). He has lots of enthusiasms, like clothes, music (of course), footie, pubs and eccentrics; all featured here. The book is full of fascinating facts and funny stories, and is well written in Sugg's own inimitable style. Highly entertaining.

If you were born and/or lived in London read thia book. It may bring back happy memories of loved ones, places, buildings, tastes and events. It did me. The book will have a section(s) no matter what your interests are. Not a Londoner? then learn some of its more modern history and the frightening changes that are happening now.
A well written and entertaining read. Some more please Suggs.

Great book by Suggs. Written with his lovely chatty & funny manner, it's partly a personal journey for him, but also full of unusual weird & wonderful facts. Read more

Baggy rubbish
This book was a massive disappointment. Now, before I continue, I will admit that I am not a huge Suggs fan... Or even a fan of Madness for that matter! Read more

An easy read around London.
Having seen a few episodes of the TV series Suggs did, I thought this would be a good, quirky take on London history. Read more
