If you’re a fan of the whimsical world of Messy Nessy Chic, you’ll feel right at home diving into Vanessa Grall’s latest book Don’t Be a Tourist in London. This newest addition to her celebrated series following Paris and New York, brings her signature “cabinet of curiosities” approach to the city that inspired so much in her creative spirit – her hometown of London.
A Treasure Trove of London’s Best-Kept Secrets
London, with its blend of history, modern marvels and quirky charm, is the perfect backdrop for Nessy’s trademark exploration of the unexpected. A delightful book to meander through, you’ll uncover cobblestone streets tucked away from the crowds, eccentric shops that have defied time, historic pubs and tiny museums that feel plucked straight from an artist’s dream. This is not your typical guidebook, it’s a love letter to London’s hidden corners, told with a sense of wonder that only Nessy can provide.
One of the things we love is how Don’t Be a Tourist in London is an invitation to see London through a lens of curiosity and creativity. Whether you’re planning your next trip or simply want to immerse yourself in the wonders of this city from afar, this book offers a fresh perspective on what makes London so magical. It’s as much a lovely coffee table book to dip into on a quiet evening as it is helpful in planning an upcoming trip to London.
