City of Westminster - Brian Girling

This stunning collection of old photographs of one of Britain's best known areas will fascinate all who embark on this short tour into the Edwardian period of London's City of Westminster. Using over 200 images City of Westminster leads the reader around Pimlico through Belgravia and Knightsbridge, Mayfair, St James's and on to Soho and the West End's famous theatreland. Among this excellent selection are pictures of vanished neighbourhoods with shops, pubs and streets that were swept away in slum clearance programmes, street characters, busy markets, trams, horse-drawn buses and old theatres.
