Synopsis
Containing some 85 new and we believe, previously unpublished colour photos accompanied by detailed captions, recording London and its transport network and other aspects of the city in the years between the end of World War 2 and the 1960s, this new compilation will appeal to a wide constituency including those who live in London, tourists and visitors to the capital and transport enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews

An atmospheric reverie
This is a nice trip down a rather smoky and rainy memory lane - although plenty of the photos are taken in some decent weather! It should be noted that much of the book is devoted to trains and buses, so it's perhaps not as broad in subject matter as one might expect. It is all nicely put together and very well narrated - short, sensible captions - ideal for enjoying over a coffee or something. An enjoyable snapshot of London memories which took me right back to tube journeys of the 70's (or even last year if we're talking District Line!)
