Illustrated by Osbert Lancaster, according to the Guardian 'one of the great English comic artists of the twentieth century', this is an unmissable treasure for lovers of London and of design.

Arranged by hour of the day, it guides the reader around 1950s London, from morning walk to evening visit to a Turkish bath and late-night taxi home, including many stately homes and restaurants.

Old House Books is an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, which specialises in reissuing historical maps, Victorian-era guidebooks, and vintage travel diaries.
