Visitors London 1977

Book Blurb for Visitors London 1977 (1977) by Harold F. Hutchison (London Transport)
As sold by Crappy Old Books

Take a time-travel trip to the heart of Britain’s capital in its most gloriously gritty era with Visitors London 1977, the classic pocket guide compiled by Harold F. Hutchison of London Transport. Originally printed for confused tourists in flared trousers, this delightfully outdated gem offers a charming, unintentionally hilarious look at the sights, services, and social etiquette of 1970s London.

Need help navigating a now-defunct bus route? Want to know where to buy a postcard or take tea "like a proper visitor"? This book’s got you covered—assuming you’re visiting in a world where phone boxes still work and the Jubilee Line hasn’t been born yet. Full of period adverts, vintage maps, and quaint suggestions from a simpler, smoggier time, this is the perfect relic for fans of retro ephemera, transport history, or just plain weird old travel advice.

Sold with loving irreverence by Crappy Old Books—because some things are too outdated not to treasure.

From a glance, not much has changed.Chislehurst is still a pleasant suburb in Kent, Chenies is a small and pretty Buckinghamshire village and London still has the finest library system in Great Britain.
