About the Author
London-raised, Franco-American writer and creator Vanessa Grall (aka Nessy), signs off her emails as the “founder/ janitor” of Messy Nessy Chic. The personal blog turned cult online wunderkammer is an editorial vault of inspirational content and travel secrets, described by Condé Nast Traveler as “a trawl of fascinating places and people, past and present”. Her media brand has built a significant social media presence of well over a million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok, and averaging 1.5 million monthly views on MessyNessyChic.com. For Nessy, tourists are not the enemy – but rather, she strongly believes that we’re all capable of becoming accidental roaming detectives; seekers of stories and collectors of local secrets. On a mission to reprogram the way we travel, in 2017 she wrote her first book Don’t be a Tourist in Paris which became an instant best-seller, followed by the matched success of Don’t be a Tourist in New York. For the third instalment of the best-selling Don’t be a Tourist series, the author takes us to her hometown of London. Nessy has an eye for the iconic, the intriguing, the off-beat and beguiling. Whether it's your first time in London, your second home, or you are yourself a Londoner, this book changes the rules.
