It was my birthday recently and one of my good friends gave me this lovely little book. Its a Red Guide to London, published by Ward Lock & Co. The original version of the London guide was first published in 1880, but the one I have was the 66th edition form 1972. A travel guide for the times, it's modern use is a account of London in the early seventies. I was most excited to see a pull out Tube map. It has the Aldwych Tube Station,(which was closed in 1994), the Bakerloo Line extending to Watford Junction, (now only to Harrow & Wealdstone), and the Bakerloo Line Stanmore line, which is now the northern section of the Jubilee Line.
