Wo sind in London die besten Orte zum Feiern, Joggen, Shoppen oder um Musik oder Kunst zu erleben? Fred Butler weiß, was gerade angesagt ist! Die vielseitig talentierte Londoner Designerin ist immer unterwegs zum nächsten Event. Mit ihrem extravaganten Style ist Fred selbst eine Trendsetterin und arbeitet erfolgreich als DJ und Kostümdesignerin - zu ihren Kundinnen gehören Stars wie Lady Gaga, Björk und Nicki Minaj. In ihrer Heimatstadt London hat Fred unzählige Kreative aus der Mode-, Musik-, Gastronomie- und Design-Welt um sich geschart. Zusammen mit ihren Freunden - darunter angesagte Radiomoderatoren, Journalisten, Designer und DJs - stellt Fred ihre liebsten Orte in London vor. Die Geheimtipps sind vielfältig: von Bars, Restaurants und Nachtclubs bis zu Museen, Galerien und Parks. Ein Kalender mit jährlichen Veranstaltungen und persönliche Einblicke in Freds private Wohnung und ihr kreatives Umfeld machen das Buch zum perfekten Insiderguide.

Fred Butler has lived in London for over a decade, yet every day she still finds something new and interesting about the city, whether she’s cycling to catch a fashion show, DJ-ing a party, or going on training runs with the Run Dem Crew.

Now, in her first book, the popular blogger invites readers to come along on her London travels. Fred recommends the best each neighborhood has to offer in the way of bars, nightclubs, museums, stores, parks, and more. Her tips come with personal anecdotes and photos, and each chapter features a detailed map. Interspersed throughout the book are “Top 5” lists from a variety of notable personalities, for example the poet James Massiah’s favorite spoken word events; NTS Radio founder Femi Adeyemi’s best record shops; and fashion designer Zandra Rhodes’s most loved colorful locales. As vibrant and animated as Fred herself, this delightfully original take on one of the world’s coolest cities is brimming with its author’s personality and style.
