Goodbye PiccadillyM. Joseph, 1960 - 344 pages Piccadilly Circus is the centre of the world. In this his last book, the author tells the story of Piccadilly Circus and the streets which radiate from it. He is concerned less with the buildings than with the way in which the streets came into being, the people who lived in them and the throngs which passed. London and Piccadilly are constantly changing, hence the title. |
