Afternoon Tea with Penrose Halson - Marriages are Made in Bond Street

Let Penrose Halson transport you back to the 1940s and hear how two matchmakers arranged love in wartime London. From a fascinating collection of letters, registration forms, index cards, press cuttings, journals, diaries, letters and books, Penrose wrote Marriages are Made in Bond Street. 

Her book - optioned for television - narrates the story of the first decade of The Marriage Bureau, a pioneering organisation which became a national institution. 

The funny, sad, poignant and happy stories are all redolent of their times:
