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 where 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. Twin sets and pearls gave way to a new elegance in women's fashion, while young men ditched their cloth caps in favor of Teddy Boy suits. A new teenage culture arrived along with coffee bars and rock 'n' roll.To a background of grisly murders and organized crime, often shrouded in fog, London lurched into the unknown. It was loud, brash, yet also sophisticated, but chaotic. It set the agenda for others to follow. A city of opportunity and dangerous temptation. Huge success and degrading humiliation, of passing interest only as the world's greatest city hurled itself restlessly forward, seeking its next distraction.REVIEWS 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 decadePROTOVIEW Life in 1950s London Hutton, Mike, Amberley Publishing<
