Book Information
Gay London aims to be more than just a scene listing. It provides an insight into how a gay man might enjoy the more esoteric pleasures that the city has to offer. These could include the pursuit of spectral figures in Abney Park Cemetery, or perhaps the contemplation of exactly what form the muse took that inspired Frederic Lord Leighton when building his house in Holland Park.
When the reader tires of history, culture and the arts, there is always shopping, the essential facial at Harvey Nicks, followed by lunch and then on to the bars. Rest and relaxation could well be found lounging amidst the art-deco splendour of Porchester Spa or experiencing the rather more gladiatorial pursuits at Chariots Roman Baths.
Samuel Johnson would surely agree that a gay man who tires of London is not tired of life, but only in need of a sun tan.
