The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook explains precisely how to decorate your house, how to wear your clothes (and what clothes to wear), how to word your letters and how to educate your children. If you are a Sloane Ranger, you'll recognise the form. Mummie and Daddy will have done a proper job on that years ago. But It Never Hurts To Be Sure.

So you know who were horrible people? Sloanes. Rich, bored, British kids in the 80's who decided that they set the barometer for coolness for their entire rich, bored, generation. With this book you can learn what they wore and how they wore it, where they shopped, where they went to school, what they ate, and what was their accepted level of religiosity. And they were despicable! Insincere, sarcastic, absurd little cretins who were completely obsessed with their own importance. I mean, don't ge...more

A guide to a lost world, and one that I suspect we'll come to miss here in the new age. Thatcherite Conservatism and then New Labour destroyed most of the old Sloane world. Whatever you can say for the New Britain of the Year Ten (more meritocratic, more open to innovation), reading this book reminds you that money doesn't equal class, and that the old-guard Sloanes did embody virtues that a chavs-and-new rich Britain sadly lacks.

hilarious - a perfect description of untouchable poshness. Enlightening for an American to note our similarities and differences. This along with The Official Preppy Handbook are my behavioral guides.

Thirty years on this social class is still entirely recognisable. Human social nature doesn’t change; though technical innovations and generational turnover do. Mobile ‘phones have since come a long way – from non-existence, to ‘bricks, to slim pocket-sized. The manufacturer’s makes of powered garden machinery owned now may now be slightly different; however quantity owned remains unchanged (at high). Private school term fees quoted back then look distinctly attractive now. Perfect table manners...more

Very amusing and perceptive. Dated perhaps, but there are still some good tips. Read this and watch 'To the manor born' ...
UK version of The Preppy Handbook - very 80's, quite fun.
The best at being the worst. This ALMOST makes me nostalgic for Old School Conservatives.
Although it's now 25 years out of date it was an interesting read and so much of it still rings true today, i think. Was quite amused to see a lot of aspects of my very un-Sloane 80s childhood echoed in the 'childhood' section though - kilts, smocking, Peter Rabbit china, 'proper toys', lots of books and daily walks - so maybe some aspects of the books were far more wide-ranging!

Amazingly detailed and meticulous description of the Sloane lifestyle. Some info is outdated - the book was written in early 80s- but lots of things never change for this social class. And I just love Peter York's irony and sense of humoour. A must-read for anyone who is into British culture and social class system.

Peter York, co-author of the 80s bestseller, The Sloane Ranger Handbook, charts the progress of the dream of grandeur and aspiration in London - part of a series of twelve books tied to the twelve lines of the London Underground, as Tfl celebrates 150 years of the Tube with Penguin Also available in a boxset 'Authors include the masterly John Lanchester, the children of Kids Company, comic John O'Farrell and social geographer Danny Dorling. Ranging from the polemical to the fantastical, the personal to the societal, they offer something for every taste. All experience the city as a cultural phenomenon and notice its nature and its people. Read individually they're delightful small reads, pulled together they offer a particular portrait of a global city' Evening Standard 'Exquisitely diverse' The Times 'Eclectic and broad-minded ... beautifully designed' Tom Cox, Observer 'A fascinating collection with a wide range of styles and themes. The design qualities are excellent, as you might expect from Penguin with a consistent look and feel while allowing distinctive covers for each book. This is a very pleasing set of books' A Common Reader blog 'The contrasts and transitions between books are as stirring as the books themselves ... A multidimensional literary jigsaw' Londonist 'A series of short, sharp, city-based vignettes - some personal, some political and some pictorial ... each inimitable author finds that our city is complicated but ultimately connected, full of wit, and just the right amount of grit' Fabric Magazine 'A collection of beautiful books' Grazia Peter York is one of the UK's leading strategic researchers.
