A Weird and Wonderful Guide to London

Le Cool is a free weekly online magazine that guides you through London events. You can read the current copy at www.lecool.com. Its an incredibly stylish and easy to use website, but you must subscribe to enter. Every week copy will be sent to you as a graphical e-mail. 

Excitingly LeCool has brought out its first London guide book, A Weird and Wonderful Guide to London. Designed by Jeremy Leslie and John Brown, this book combines the incredibly understated coolness of the magazine's content with exciting visuals that echo the variety and range of places covered. Its full of fantastic photography, inventive typography and anarchic design. It also manages to pick up on an essentially London vibe without reverting to red bus imagery or tube signs. 




Its content is as quirky as the design featuring spots to watch wrestling or find the best fish and chip shop, to top clubs, boutique comic book stores interviews with gallery owners and personal stories. The cover is the trade mark 'LeCool' richly coloured, tactile covering.
