A reissue of a truly classic title on the Batsford backlist. First
published in 1935, it is a wonderful snapshot of our capital before
the Second World War, and a charming insight into our attitudes to
urban life back in the Thirties. Our posh guide Cohen-Portheim
offers us his interpretation of life in London through her people,
her buildings and her history.The chapters include:Towns withinTown
Streets and their LifeGreen LondonLondon and the ArtsLondon
Amusements and Night LifeHotels and RestaurantsTraditional
LondonLondon and the BritishLondon and the Foreigner (surprisingly
liberal!)It includes the iconic Brian Cook cover illustration of
Ludgate Circus and St Pauls, and should be sought after for that
alone. Add in the charm of the authentic voice of a 1930s Londoner,
it should be enjoyed by all Londoners.
