Reviews for
The London Club
“A delectable tour of 46 clubs that span 300 years of architecture and design [... Jones’s] intent is to capture what one might see if allowed to linger in one of these rooms, cocktail in hand, sunk into a comfy chair”
“a serious work [...] will be of interest not merely to those who obsess about clubs, but also to those with a deep interest in interior decoration [...] high quality of the photographs and the clever use of anecdote to make each chapter interesting [...] beautifully produced”
“lavishly illustrated and wittily written”
“wonderful book on the architecture and interiors of London’s private members’ spaces [...] A special thanks goes to Andrew Jones for expertly documenting these cultural museums”
“Casting an eye over the decorations while putting on the nosebag, as that inveterate club man Bertie Wooster might have put it, comes highly recommended in The London Club [...]”
“a rare sneak peek inside 46 of London’s most illustrious private clubs”
“a tremendous new book offering a fresh and sparkling perspective on the sometimes dusty world of the London club”
“an unofficial guide to the city’s strangest and most elegant private dining and drinking venues”
“[...] Andrew Jones and Laura Hodgson draw back the red curtain to shed light on the architecture, interiors and art of 46 of these hallowed institutions [...] There are 400 photographs to explore, which for many will be as close to these private clubs as they will ever get”
“This is a wonderful book and amazing achievement. The photographs are stunning and the work is really well written. It is a must buy for anyone interested in London’s clubland”
“Jones writes [...] interestingly and with an observant eye [...] beautifully produced, an opportunity to visit all those clubs of which I am not a member”
“beautifully produced”
The Buildings of Green Park
A tour of certain buildings, monuments and other structures in Mayfair and St James’s
Take a walk around a park loved by many but known by few. From the landmarks of Apsley House, The Ritz and Buckingham Palace to 150 Piccadilly, where Lord Elgin first displayed the Parthenon Marbles, The Buildings of Green Park captures the unseen history of the heart of Mayfair and St. James’s.
“This is at one level a book about a part of London and its buildings. At another, it’s a book about learning to savour our lives.”
Reviews for
The Buildings of Green Park
“This book is as beguiling as a book can be. From the first glimpse of its most agreeable small format – so satisfying to hold and with a cover that positively sings of the delights to be found within – you are charmed out of your wits […] I am not alone in being thus entranced: the brilliant foreword by Alain de Botton does not exaggerate when he declares that Andrew Jones has “a prodigiously well-stocked mind and heart … and is sensitive and knowledgeable about pretty much all the arts of all major cultures”.”
“Jones’s book is full of delights, even for the seasoned visitor to the environs around Green Park—the man who knows his Justerini & Brooks from his Berry Bros.”
“a charming, deeply well-informed guide to the amazing range of buildings which surround the park”
“meticulously researched [...] a concise insight into a slice of the capital’s architecture that many of us walk past, but which few of us appreciate”
“a lovely book that shines a dazzling light on this neglected corner of gilded London – and reveals heavenly collisions of history […] Andrew Jones, who lives near the park, is an excellent guide, particularly to its more obscure glories.”
“With an introduction by Alain de Botton, and photographs by the author and his wife, the artist Laura Hodgson, the project is the engaging product of a life upended by the pandemic.”
“Jones [...] is a passionate and informed cicerone. His observations are acute and amusing, and his book sits happily within the genre of strangers’ guides to the metropolis…”
