The action is seen through generations of a clutch of central families; following the lives & adventures, & rivalries & hatreds of the colourful cast (which spans all aspects of the social class system) London’s past is truly brought to life. ...

There is perhaps no better place to start than in the Capital City. London`s buses are well known throughout the world, being synonymous with the city. This volume takes us on a nostalgic tour of not just street scenes but also caomparative shots of the various bus related sites of the city. Bus stations & interchange points & garages & depots are slectively covered. The changes in the buses themselves & the advent in recent years of the return of the long lost street tramway make for fascinating reminders of both the past & the progress! This though is not just about the public service vehicles it is also about the cars, trucks, bikes & other motor vehicles that can be seen in the background. The fashions have also changed over the years while the buildings are remarkable either because they still stand or indeed because of what has replaced them after they have been swept aside in the passage of time. ...
