AUTHOR THANKSEmilie FilouBig thanks to my fellow authors Steve Fallon, Damian Harper and Vesna Maric – this book was a truly collaborative effort. Thanks also to the many friends (hello Nikki, Chris, Van, Sid, Alex, Nic, Phil, Cake, Zanthy and Cos) who chipped in with recommendations and came along for the ride: your dedication to finding a good time knows no bounds! And finally, thanks to chief critic and husband extraordinaire Adolfo for his patience and company.

Steve FallonI can’t remember working with such a wonderful group of authors as the London 9 Dream Team: Emilie Filou, Damian Harper and Vesna Maric. A million thanks for all their

help, advice and suggestions. Fellow Blue Badge Tourist Guide Lia Lalli was a goldmine for eating ideas; Stephen Unwin went beyond the call of duty with help on the gay and lesbian sections. As always, I’d like to state my admiration, gratitude and great love for my partner Michael Rothschild.

Damian HarperThanks to everyone who helped along the way: my co-authors, Emma Gough, Laura Hutchinson, Amaya Wang, Laura Teale, Star Hu, Ian Franklin, Bill Moran and anyone else I may have overlooked. Thanks also to my wife Dai Min and my two children, as ever.

Vesna MaricThanks to Jo Potts and James Smart for commissioning and guiding the title, and big thanks to my co-authors Emilie Filou, Steve Fallon and Damian Harper – a wonderful bunch to work with.
