Путешествия

Daunt Bookshop; 83 Marylebone High Street, W1; T. 020 7224 2295; M. Oxford Circus

Книжный магазин Daunt - это, как Восточный Экспресс, переживание само по себе, помимо того, куда он вас отвезет. Длинные дубовые эдвардианские галереи и легкое и воздушное остекление придают элегантность и спокойствие этому весьма оригинальному магазину. Он расположен на улице Марилебоун-Хай-стрит (Marylebone High Street), которая остается очень «деревенской» большой улицей, уютно спрятавшейся всего в двух шагах от оживленного Оксфорд Серкус (Oxford Circus). Если вы пройдете вверх по улице Марилебоун-лейн (Marylebone Lane) к северу от Оксфорд-стрит (Oxford Street) и к западу от станции метро Oxford Circus, то вы поймете, что я имел в виду, когда говорил о потерянной реке, которая задает направление улице. Также обратите внимание на тщательно сделанные часы у Waitrose, заведения, основанного мистером Уэйтом и мистером Роузом.

When he came to take his order, he made a hat on the street, put it on the pavement and jumped on it to check its strength. Quality to satisfy it. "Later, the company, which was called Bowler Bros, began to produce such a large number of hats, and went away the phrase "mad as a hatter" because in the production process used to use mercury, which made Hatters little strange.
