Who We Are

We are a London based publishing house located at the Eckerd College London Study Centre.

The Teal Guides have been published continuously since 2016. With support from the Tampa Bay Times, Eckerd College, The Office of International Education, and the Creative Writing Department, Gower Street Press offers the most colorful, the most eccentric, the most odd travel guides on the market today.  

​

• strong focus on maintaining the Teal Guides as the leading, most off the wall travel guides covering language barriers, religious intolerance, secret watering holes and, where relevant, local hangover remedies;
• illustrations to decorate rather than inform: no needless maps, unreadable diagrams, outdated floor plans, or architectural details, only photographs of the highest artistic quality;

​

• every page must be read because there is almost no sense of organization, cross reference, indexing, or intelligent layout;
• a long list of places you may or may not be interested in, cheap eats, cheap drinks, phone booths worth holing up in, street people worth sharing a coffee with and where to find them, or other information that really matters if you have any interest in immersing yourself in a place instead of walking around to all the locations some other guidebook decided you "had" to see.
