“Flush with anecdotes on everyone from Queen Boudica to Keith Richards...by another unique London personality, the tow-headed, bicycle-riding Mayor Boris Johnson.” - Vogue
“[A] chummy, chatty history...[Boris] has a flair for describing personalities.” –Smithsonian
“[Johnson’s] knowledge of London is wide and deep, and he dispenses that history with intelligence and affection.” – The Chicago Tribune
“With the wit and wisdom for which he is famous, Boris Johnson tells the story of the vibrant city he fell in love with long before he grew up to run it.” – Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
“Boris Johnson is Britain's most popular politician. He is also its wittiest—and most erudite. In this book he turns his love for London and his stint as its mayor into an edifying and entertaining romp. There is no voice on the international political stage, and few within the pages of any book, as eclectic, learned, hilarious, and wonderful as his. Not since Winston Churchill has a future Prime Minister of Britain written so well.” – Michael Wolff, Vanity Fair
“Engaging ... a highly entertaining work of popular history.” – Publishers Weekly
“A lively thematic guide...the author shows that there is much more to London than Big Ben, London Bridge and William Shakespeare.” – Kirkus
“An entertainingly irreverent take on a powerhouse city.” – Library Journal
--The Daily Mail
“Here’s Boris, pedaling madly through the history of the capital. .... Through portraits of its famous residents ... Johnson gives us his very own London, and we can’t but be glad that he did.” –The Times
“The stories of both the subjects and the city are brilliantly told [and show] an eye for detail that would do Savile Row proud. ... Resist[s] easy caricature to paint complex pictures of flawed humans. –The Spectator
