'The Lonely Londoners' by Sam Sevlon is a brilliant book about the arrival of the Windrush Generation to the UK and specifically to West London. It in turn inspired me to seek out pictures from the time - various documentary photographers were drawn to the area. I grew up in Shepherd's Bush and spent a lot of time in Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove so both the book and photographs are especially interesting.
