Vintage 1930's London



Our original photographs of London in the late 1920's and early 1930's, taken by the photographer George Reid, show a unique pictorial history of London life. They are full of characters, fashion and illustrate the transition in mobility from the horse and cart to cars, buses and lorries. Every time you look at them you will see something new and interesting. Since those times we have had the Blitz of the Second World War and modernisation bringing many changes.

We have enjoyed them over the years and we would like to share them with you!
