Publisher's Synopsis
This book tells the story of the city as it was lived at home, work and leisure, and everywhere in between. Fifty striking and carefully curated photographs show that 1930s London was about much more than cloche hats and art deco. The images and essays reveal Londoners' modern homes and sleek new factories and offices, as well as the glamour and tragedy of the new age of travel and the explosion of leisure activities, from lido swimming to the thrills of the speedway.
