Check out the clothes! Check out the cars! Check out the ads! Enjoy these wonderful nostalgia photos of London taken during the seriously hot summer of 1976.

The photos were snapped in August 39 years ago when the country was in the grip of one of the warmest, driest summers on record.

They were taken by German record collector Klaus Hiltscher aka Affendaddy the Rock 'n' Roll Accountant.

The pictures provide a fascinating look at how London has changed – and not changed – in the four decades since.
