It is worth popping into the National Portrait Gallery to see the exhibition Hoppé Portraits: Society, Studio and Street which is on until 30 May. Not only are there some amazingly glamorous photos of filmstars and celebrities from the 1920s and 30s but Hoppé also took the most amusing street photographs of London, including the little chap above.
