About this product
Product Information
After the trauma of the Blitz and wartime restrictions, London embraced the arrival of a new decade. Austerity was slow to loosen its grip, but the Festival of Britain pointed a tentative way forward. Two years later saw the birth of a new Elizabethan era that was greeted with an almost naïve enthusiasm.This was a time when class still dominated and divided. Despite the introduction of the welfare state, grinding poverty still existed. The rich were also suffering under a barrage of punitive taxation. The artistic community set out to challenge the bounds of perceived decency. As always, London spearheaded change.To a background of grisly murders and organised crime, often shrouded in fog, London lurched into the unknown. It was loud, brash and chaotic, yet also sophisticated. A city of opportunity and dangerous temptation, it set the agenda for others to follow. Huge success and degrading humiliation were of passing interest only as the world's greatest city hurled itself restlessly forward seeking its next distraction.

Life in 1950s London paints a vibrant portrait of the city during a time filled with life, creativity, tumult, and uncertainty. London historian Mike Hutton describes the city based on thorough research, as well as his own personal accounts, using a voice that is engaging, accessible, intriguing, and electric. From the effects of war to class issues, from art and music and fashion to crime, Hutton describes mid-century London in a way that brings the culture of the time alive for readers. This book is a consummate companion for students of European history, as well as history researchers, educators, and those simply interested in 1950s London. It also includes several pages of photos taken during the decade
