London Living

Following the success of his first book, New York Interiors, Simon Upton turns to London, a city in which he has been based for most of his working life. Exploring an incredible range of homes in this vibrant city, Upton looks behind the scenes into the private spaces of creatives and influencers. Presented in two parts, the book begins with ¿Town,¿ devoted to the homes of those who live solely in London, such as grandee of interior design John Stefanidis; House & Garden¿s interior designer of the year 2019, Maria Speake; industrial designer and architect Tom Bartlett; fashion designer Bella Freud; and antiques dealer and interior designer Adam Bray. Then ¿Country¿ showcases those who divide their time between London and a retreat in the British countryside, including antiques dealers Jorge Perez Martin and David Gibson, known as Brownrigg; film director Gaby Dellal; and fashion designer Jasper Conran. With a foreword by iconic decorator and friend Nicky Haslam, London Living reveals a series of unique locations, each illuminated by an interview in which the owner defines their true meaning of ¿home.¿
