Set in post-war 1950's London the book bursts with the amazing and true stories of the eclectic band of tenants that lived in his mother’s boarding house and who are etched into the author’s memory. It is also about the street life of 50s London, the bomb sites, cinemas, music halls, blistering cold winters and more.

  • A Thing of Beauty - This beautifully written and illustrated book is charming, funny, moving and deeply evocative of life at the seamier end of post war London.  David Cohen - Amazon

  • ​​​Post war London life is beautifully drawn and the tales illustrate hard luck, hard work and diversity under one roof. Hugely enjoyable! Caroline - Amazon

  • ​Janson features as the ginger-haired boy in the book, and its story, deserves to be seen, heard and retold. Where are its denizens now? What lives unfolded from the glimpse we see of them here? An important record of a London now long gone. Michael Smith Author & Publisher​
