Private Eye On London

Private Eye On London (1962) – Private Eye
Published by Private Eye. Peddled proudly by Crappy Old Books.

Step into swinging ’60s London with this gloriously irreverent relic from the Private Eye gang — Private Eye On London. Part satirical guidebook, part social takedown, it skewers the capital’s posh clubs, pompous people, and political pretensions with razor-sharp wit and a pint of sarcasm.

Originally published in 1962, this is satire at its most savage, offering a time capsule of the Eye’s early days before the lawyers started paying attention. Expect dated references, gratuitous mockery, and a tone that suggests the authors were enjoying themselves far too much.

Our copy? Probably yellowing, possibly annotated, definitely dog-eared — just the way we like it.

Private Eye started in 1961, so this is right off the bat from their earlier days.
