Louise T Blouin Institute says…

Daunt Books' warm, oak-galleried interior has earned it a top spot on every poll of the capital's favourite bookshops. The store also organises a damn good lecture: tonight, Daunt brings local expert and author Hermione Cameron (who's also appeared as an extra on The Office) to the Louise T Blouin Institute for a journey through 100 years of west-London history. Cameron's book of photographs and postcards (the first in a Behind the Scenes series) surveys images of Notting Hill from a century ago; evidently, back then the area was populated by characters like the superbly monikered Mrs Memory and Miss Perfect, rather than celebrities and trustafarians.
