This Is London

This Is London by Miroslav Sasek is a timeless children’s picture book that invites readers to explore London through bright, stylish illustration and a gently witty narrative voice. First published in 1959 and now refreshed for today, it’s a pocket-friendly tour that still feels wonderfully sophisticated on the page.

Sasek guides you past grand buildings, historic monuments, bridges, parks and shops, stopping in at Piccadilly Circus and dipping into the famous London Underground. The text keeps things light and playful, while the artwork captures the city’s character with an eye for detail that rewards repeat reading.

Perfect for young travellers and curious kids, as well as adults who love classic illustration, vintage design and London stories to share at bedtime or before a trip.
