This book is ideal for readers interested in the colourful history of London's artistic and literary communities, as well as those fascinated by the influence of bohemian culture on the city's character.
The lost art of louche living! Elborough captures London at its gamiest - controversial characters and outrageous behaviours. Garrets, pubs, clubs, salons, opium dens and brothels. Poets, painters, down-and-ups, drunks, sensualists, crooks and cranks.

Description
Chronicles De Quincey and Coleridge's hazy laudanum days in Tyburnia; charts Verlaine and Rimbaud's progress in Camden Town; toasts Wilde in Kettners and the Cafe Royal; imbibes absinthe with Yeats at the Cheshire Cheese; snorts coke with Aleister Crowley on Chancery Lane; sups best bitter with Dylan Thomas in the Fitzroy Tavern and catches last orders in Soho with Francis Bacon.
While true Bohemians may be long gone, their style, irregular work patterns, love of intoxicants and unusual sexual mores shaped the city we know and love today.
Bohemian London captures the spirit of these historical figures and the lasting impact they had on the culture and character of London.
