Photo from February 1944 of a blacked-out Piccadilly Circus with the only lights being from the headlights of passing cars (so presumably this wasn’t during a proper blackout). Photo by David E. Scherman.
TM Thorne is an author who lived in London for many years before giving in to property prices and the demands of raising a family, and now lives messily in the English countryside with her motorsport-mad husband and son and three demanding cats.
When not writing about her much-missed city, spending time with her family or tripping over engines and spanners littered around the house she likes to eat, drink and feel guilty about not doing enough exercise. View all posts by TMThorne
