Bits and bobs about the London County Council, GLC, pre- and post-1965 boroughs in London. Love municipal stuff from the past that lives on today. Plus New Towns, motorways, shopping and leisure centres, public transport, infrastructure and so on.

Precisely one year and one day ago I fulfilled a personal ambition when I toured Hilversum Town Hall. Precisely one year and one day later I have finally written up my piece on the visit. Here it is - enjoy! #Hilversum #Dudok #municipal https://lccmunicipal.com/2026/04/10/hilversum-calling/

A trip to the Carris Museum today (the Lisbon municipal bus and tram operator) and a reminder of how important Portugal was for the British bus export trade in the 1950s and 60s. Here is an AEC Regent III and two Daimler Fleetlines, all looking resplendent in preservation. #Lisbon #Lisboa #Carris
