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.©2011 Craig Taylor (P)2012 W F Howes Ltd 21st Century Europe Modern Social Sciences England

This is a must listen for Londoners and non-Londoners alike. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Fascinating

I have read the only review so far to be made of this book, and agree with the writer except that I didn't feel that the voices marred the presentation - the episodes are well-spaced so that you don't hear the same voice too frequently.

It's a wonderful book because the stories are quite offbeat and not what you're expecting. Each has an introductory name and occupation, and though you feel you may know about the world of that occupation you find new angles to it every time. I think different generations will find different parts intriguing (I'm older, so the life of a female bouncer is outside my ken and a revelation!)

I shall certainly listen to the book again.

Fascinating!

This is really enjoyable. A great insight into London life from all walks of life. It gives a series of snapshots of the city, in both good ways and bad.

If your a wee bit tired of London then these stories might be the pep you've been looking for. Nicely read and successfully evoking a place and a time.

A great listen for a Londoner
