Book of the Week

London's Ours!

£20.00

In the early 1980s, London’s city-wide authority, the Greater London Council, embarked upon a radical experiment in how to run the capital, which transformed British politics. Campaigning and energetic, the GLC made extensive use of poster campaigns, public art and popular events to take aim against racism, sexism, nuclear war – and eventually, their own abolition.

This book documents the remarkable visual culture of the GLC, with over 250 images. Sometimes confrontational, frequently humorous, it provides a unique picture of a remarkable period in British politics and of London itself.
