This book ( Coffee Table ) is a fantastic collection of photographs from the collection of English Heritage.
I was sent the information by Foyles, and then found that if you went through the Times Bookshop it was cheaper. £26.
It is well worth the money. It covers all areas of London, many of which I remember from my days in the City ,late 1950's. It covers the old tenements and East end of London.to Buckingham Palace and beyond. Old shops, any one remember Swan and Edgar ?
I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who has ancestors from London and for those like me who spent many a year working there.
It also covers many churches, including the Hugenouts. I just wish I could send you some to view but I don't think I am allowed to print them.
You can contact the bookshop on 0845 271 2134 or online at

The only sad thing is that it was printed in Thailand !!
