Dylan Jones: Inside London’s Wildest Restaurant Era | David Bowie, The Groucho Club & Boris Johnson

Dylan Jones has spent more than four decades at the heart of British culture, from i-D and The Face to GQ, the Evening Standard and some of London’s most legendary dining rooms. In this episode, Dylan joins us to talk about the wild years of 80s, 90s and noughties London, from The Groucho Club, The Ivy and Le Caprice to David Bowie, Robbie Williams, Boris Johnson and the extraordinary overlap between restaurants, fashion, music, media and drugs. We also get into the characters who made London dining what it was, the rise of the power restaurant, Jeremy King and Richard Caring, the changing face of Soho and Mayfair, and whether that era could ever exist again. A brilliant, outrageous and incredibly entertaining journey through a very different London. Buy his book here -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Table-Hopping-Restaurants-Brasserie-Wolseley/dp/0349000727
