Napoleon once called England 'a nation of shopkeepers'. It's no wonder then that London is home to some of the most venerable, charming and unusual shops in the world.

In this captivating book, photographer Horst A. Friedrichs and author Stuart Husband open the doors to 25 quintessential shops in the capital, from exclusive tailors and world-famous bookshops, to quirky button shops and underground silver collections. Every display tells a story; every shop window holds a secret.

Each shop is a world unto itself, every window a stage for tradition and imagination.

Step inside, and discover the artistry and enduring allure of London's finest shops.
HORST FRIEDRICHS' photographs have appeared in the Independent, The New York Times, and Stern and several books. He lives in London.

STUART HUSBAND is a Brighton-based author and travel journalist whose work has appeared in Monocle, Four Seasons, the Telegraph, Observer, The Sunday Times, and the Independent.
