On the restoration of the city took a lot of time.
Postwar Britain was in decline, not only from an economic point of view. The morale of the General population was incredibly low. Only with the beginning of 50-ies of the last century it was on the mend.
After conducting in London the Festival of Britain began construction of the capital of the Kingdom, and Albion gradually began to get out of the crisis. About the same period, begins to form so-called “Swinging London”. The city becomes a real European centre of entertainment, riotous living and modern pop culture. These black and white photos were taken in just before the UK capital will turn into a kaleidoscope with myriads of lights everywhere.
