Londoners through a lens (TimeOut Guides)

<div><i>Time Out London</i> magazine&#8217;s weekly "London Through a Lens" column is one of its most popular. Each column features a historical Getty Images archive photo along with explanatory text. This engaging book collects some of the best of these images on a wide variety of subjects in moods from witty to serious to mysterious. This second edition, emphasizing photographs of people, comprises an evocative portrait of more than a century of London life.</div>

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
