I live in Cambodia now but reading this blog always reminds me of what I loved about London in my 20 years of living there. Wish I could meet Mr Markovitch for a cup of tea – or over a pint in one of the Gentle Author’s favourite East End watering holes.

Copies are on sale in the Brick Lane Bookshop too, if you’re passing.

“I’ve never had a girlfriend. It’s better that way. I have always had very bad catarrh, so it wasn’t possible.”

Must get the book.
