These fabulous pictures were taken by Swedish George Kindbom during a brief one week stay in England’s capital in 1979 and a longer stay in Paris a year later.

"It's a different culture from what we have in Sweden," says George. "I am from a small town called Huskvarna and everyone looks the same and they all know each other. The people in London were less friendly but it was such a shock to see how everyone was so different and unique. But it was amazing. I really wish I could go back someday."
