London has long been a magnet for aspiring artists & writers, musicians & fashion designers seeking inspiration & success. In London Calling, Barry Miles explores the counter-culture
- creative, avant garde, permissive, anarchic
- that sprang up in this great city in the decades following the Second World War. Here are the heady post-war days when suddenly everything seemed possible, the jazz bars & clubs of the fifties, the teddy boys & the Angry Young Men, Francis Bacon & the legendary Colony Club, the 1960s & the Summer of Love, the rise of punk & the early days of the YBAs. The vitality & excitement of this time & years of change
- & the sheer creative energy in the throbbing heart of London
- leap off the pages of this evocative & original book.

London Calling is a poignant, warm-hearted & engaging saga of Clapham, south London's women during the Second World War, for readers of Kate Thompson, Annie Murray & Katie Flynn.

It will take more than Hitler's Luftwaffe to break the spirit of the residents of Lavender Road. If courage & resilience could win wars, the conflict would already be over.

It's not all harmony, though. Nurse Molly Coogan & would-be actress Jen Carter certainly don't see eye to eye. Molly, despite hating the discipline of wartime hospital life, is unimpressed by Jen's prima donna ways. Jen, unaware of Molly's secret heartache, can't resist taking her own frustrations out on Molly. It's just as well that no one knows what challenges lie ahead...

From stolen glasses in the Flag & Garter to fancy dinners in the heart of the West End, from a desperate battle for survival on a hospital ward to a torpedo hitting its target in the Mediterranean Sea, LONDON CALLING takes readers into a world of ordinary people living extraordinary lives.
