In this closely observed sequence of photographs of London, Dorothy Bohm has captured the city as it appeared to her in the late 1960s. It is a city caught at a particular moment in its history, and the photographs convey a sense of transience, of nostalgia for a lost world. Amanda Hopkinson's text places the photographs in the context of other visual records of London in the 1960s, and of Dorothy Bohm's photographic work as a whole. Ian Jeffrey provides detailed commentary on 25 selected images; his reading of the photographs draws out the very individual qualities of Dorothy Bohm's photography, and considers it in a wider photographic framework.

Dorothy Bohm's photographs capture the contradictions of London today: the juxtaposition of old and new, of tradition and modernity, which often produces a jumbled urban landscape. This is for the most part the London which tourists do not see, the hidden corners where people go about their everyday lives, observed by the photographer with sensitivity and humour. Dorothy Bohm has travelled and photographed widely throughout the world, but London is where she has come to feel at home. Photographing London for more than forty years, Bohm is constantly exploring and documenting its endless variety. Yet increasing familiarity with the city has never lured her into taking it for granted and Inside London reveals the tireless intensity of her enquiry.
