Description
Here are the voices of London – rich and poor, native and immigrant, women and men – witnessed by Craig Taylor, an acclaimed journalist, playwright and writer, who spent five years exploring the city and listening to its residents.
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 and many more, paint a vivid, epic and wholly fresh portrait of Twenty-First Century London.
Londoners offers an intimate and diverse depiction of life in one of the world's most vibrant cities, as experienced through its people.

A splendid collection of narratives, Londoners by Craig Taylor receives praise for its eloquent and vivid portrayal of London's diverse inhabitants. Critics commend Taylor's ability to capture the city's essence through authentic voices, creating a tapestry of metropolitan life that is both touching and occasionally infuriating. The book is described as ambitious and engaging, resonating with readers' experiences of London, whether they adore or are challenged by the city.
