Private collection
Note: This poignant snapshot of a serene part of St. John's Wood was painted just before the War (as the St John's Wood Georgian Terrace in the background was bombed in 1940) and depicts a typical London daytime scene which Allinson , who lived nearby at Clifton Hill, delighted in portraying.
