Books by Sonya Barber

Hoxton Mini Press have made a name for themselves as a publisher that celebrates the creative and colourful character of east London. This is the third edition of their unashamedly biased, deeply opinionated (and very popular) guide to the area. With 20 new suggestions of where to eat, sleep, shop and drink this pocket-sized companion is the ultimate guide to the ever-changing face of east London, filled with beautiful photography, pithy reviews, a perfect weekend itinerary and a neighbourhood map showing where all of the places are located. It''s a must for east London locals and first-time visitors alike.

Whether you are flirting with leaving the capital for good or fancy a daytrip to Margate or the South Downs for some much-needed country air, this small guide is an unashamedly opinionated guide to the very best places to get some release from city life in these dificult Covid times. Coastal walks, boutique hotels, top restaurants, wild swimming - there is much to discover within a short train ride from the capital, and so much to remind us that life is not quite as compressed and stressed as it seems.
