Magnum photographer Sergio Larrain visited London in 1958 to find a city firmly rooted in tradition. Yet in its streets, its parks, its clubs and its cafes Larrain witnessed a city moving towards a new decade - a changing society ready to emerge. Never before published, these powerful photographs present a vivid portrait of a London which has long since disappeared. The book is introduced by Mike Seaborne, Curator of the Historic Photographs Collection at the Museum of London.
