London is one of the most exciting cities in the world-dynamic,
noisy, colourful - and non-stop. It can also be exhausting, crowded
and intense. So for those of us who like to stop, breathe and enjoy
a slower pace of life, Lost in London is for you. If you prefer to
spend your weekends walking on London's commons, or hunting down
fireside pubs for a pint rather than frequenting cocktail bars or
clubs, then read on. Lost In London first began life as a magazine.
From this, its founders Lucy and Tina, have lovingly created a
beautiful book that unearths a hidden treasure - the secret side of
London. This urban nature guide shows us how to slow down and
reconnect with the greener side of the capital. Sections include a
guide to exploring the city's reservoirs, cemeteries, and meadows,
an alternative look at the Thames and London's lakes, canals and
wetlands, and an entire section dedicated to foraging, beekeeping
and henkeeping.The book is full of delicious recipes for you to
make using your foraged food, such as damson gin, pontack, pork,
apple and black pudding pasties and blackberry vinegar. There's
gardening advice with suggestions on how to make the most of your
allotment, rooftop or window box, practical ideas for outdoorsy day
trips, and a brilliant guide to the animals, insects and birds that
share our city. Packed with stunning illustrations, gorgeous
photography and handy maps, this is an indispensable, inspirational
guide to living simply in the city. Lucy Scott and Tina Smith
launched Lost in London magazine three years ago over a shared
passion for the natural world and reflecting its place in urban
life. It was intended to be a oneoff experimental portfolio
project, but it quickly established as one of the most foremost
independent magazine titles around.
