Bright Lights, Big City Book

Accompanying a London Weekend Television series, this book traces the history of popular entertainment in London from the end of the 19th century to the present day. From the Victorian pub with its brilliant gas lighting and enticing cut glass, through the creation of the music halls and variety shows, to the rise of "serious" West-End theatre and the glamour and glitz of the 1930s cinemas, it shows how tastes and styles have changed over the years. A wide range of illustrations - Naughty Nineties songsheets with tantalizing glimpses of a bare female ankle, billboards and theatre posters, photographs of the stars of stage and screen - is interspersed with contemporary accounts and reminiscences. Gavin Weightman is a former presenter of LWT's "The London Programme", and his other books include "London River".Read More
