This unusual and entertaining guide to the capital gives a snapshot of the best places to visit. Arranged by hour of the day, it takes the reader on a journey around 1950s London, from your morning walk to your visit to the Turkish Bath and late-night taxi home. Includes recommended restaurants (many of which still exist), the best stately homes to visit, a tour of the Thames and how to cope with the noise and dirt of a trip to the capital.

"The book is beautifully illustrated and chock full of valuable insights into the many facets of London. The vintage aspect of the book made it definitely more interesting than your average travel guide. All in all, it was a fun read and I would recommend it to any reader." —Anglotopia.net
