The Bespokist Society Guide
to…London
You have in your hands one of the most curated
city guides ever created. As the first travel book produced by the hugely
influential Bespokist Society, this handy guide takes you to a London you’ve
never seen: a London of challenging Etruscan restaurants, edgy branding
parlours, emoji hotels and hidden Icelandic communities; a London where 8-ply
toilet paper is a thing.
On the way, meet an eclectic band of inspiring Londoners - from scriveners to socialites via urban wordsmiths and coffee preachers - and see why London is now the global epicentre of Bespokist consciousness, community and culture.

Sample the funnies, with a spoof interview with the authors of the book...
Who is the protagonist of The Bespokist Society?
I am Jesse Fox, owner and fitness guru at The Alpha Retreat in Epping Forest. My background is completely unimportant - suffice to say that I have always been a winner at life. When I came out of my mother’s womb (exactly two months early) the doctors were astonished by my complete lack of tears and the clarity of vision in my eyes. I mastered breastfeeding within seconds and five days later I was able to walk briskly down the street without my mother.
What are your likes/dislikes?
I like training, press ups, order, silence, hard work, sit ups, weights, pain and Vladimir Putin.
I dislike socialising, carbs, emotion, entertainment, art, books (except
The Bespokist Society Guide to London) laziness, holidays, families, drugs of
all forms (including caffeine and glucose), losing, losers and Betas.
How do other people see you?
There are two different types of people. Alphas correctly view me as their spiritual guru and since my series of TED talks I am seen as the leading representative of world Alphaism. Betas jealously view me as a threat to their idle and indulgent way of life.
What would you change about yourself if you could wave a magic wand?
A ridiculous question - nothing whatsoever. And there is no such thing as magic.
There’s an elderly person and a young child each on a separate on a cliff top, each are going to fall/jump. How would you cope (save or not)? If save both, how? If neither, why?
The answer is obvious - neither should be saved. Alphas vehemently believe in survival of the fittest. Even children should be able to look after themselves on cliff tops. And if an elderly person is unable to cope on a cliff top then he should have done more physical training. We have monks at the Hermitage who are 90 years old and still do 1000 press ups before breakfast.
Your in a lift with your favourite TV movie star,
how would they react?
Another ridiculous question. 1. TV is a waste of time and popcorn for the idle. 2. I never go in lifts. Why go in a lift when you can go upstairs three steps at a time?

The Bespokist Society Guide to London is a work of fiction written by
born and bred Londoner, Jeremy Liebster. Somewhat surprisingly, Jeremy is also
a city lawyer – formerly at DLA
Piper and now a General Counsel within a large private equity group. Jeremy is
utterly obsessed with travel books and although he might poke fun at urban
fads, hipster fried chicken is his guilty pleasure. He also has an unusual
interest in clothes hangers.
