I was in my local book store yesterday and ran across a book called Still Open, which is an illustrated book about traditional shops in London, from food to clothing to umbrellas.

and when it rains it pours--Random House will publish The Traditional Shops and Restaurants of London this spring.

Now I want to go back to London. Can someone do something about the exchange rate?
These look good. Esp. the first. I mentioned a book like it (save it dealt almost strictly with bespoke shops) here:

I too await the parity of pound and dollar!
From a thread on SF.com: I want one of these too. A Sunspel polo.
