A sumptuous, witty and eye-opening history of the eccentrics, stars, aristocrats and criminals living in London's grand hotels during the Blitz. Meet the girl from MI5 who had the gravy browning licked from her legs by Dylan Thomas; the barman who was appointed the keeper of Churchill's private bottle of whisky; and the East End Communist who marched with his comrades into the air-raid shelter of the Savoy. All these memories and more have been reconstructed to provide a glimpse into WWII scandal, intrigue and fortitude.
