Wonderful London (published 1926): Shepherd Market

What a wonderfully evocative image of our neighbouring Shepherd Market, taken in 1926 for the publication Wonderful London. If you explore this historic pocket of London, you will agree that it really hasn’t changed much over the past century.

Wonderful London was described by the publisher as ‘The World’s Greatest City Described by its Best Writers and Pictured by its Finest Photographers’. The three-volume publication was edited by St. John Adcock and it contains over 1200 photos and essays covering each area of the capital. It really does give such a fascinating insight of London during this era.
