Decorative arts

A unique look into the homes of London-based interior designers, antique dealers, musicians, and influencers, revealed by leading interior design photographer Simon Upton.

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',

which is 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; model

Poppy Delevingne; 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, which includes names

such as antiques dealers Jorge Perez-Martin and David Gibson, known

as Brownrigg; film director Gaby Dellal; and designer Jasper Conran.

With a foreword by iconic decorator and Upton's 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'.

Reviews for London Living: Town and Country

"""'Rooms do furnish a book, ' writes Nicky Haslam in his witty introduction to this book of photographs by Simon Upton. A House Garden contributor, the respected interiors photographer is lauded for his brilliant eye. . . . He has chosen to feature a mix of homeowners: 14 who live only in London, and a further nine who have houses in both town and country."" --House & Garden"
