This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a bustling mid-day scene on Marylebone Road near the junction of Baker Street in 1963. The right side of the image features the Jacey news theatre, a local landmark famous for its continuous screenings of newsreels and short films, with its bright red “NEWS” neon sign partially visible. Parked prominently at the kerbside is a red London Transport recovery truck, a heavy-duty vehicle that was a permanent fixture at this location for many years to assist broken-down buses. The busy street is filled with the icons of the era, including a red double-decker bus on route 30 and a variety of classic cars including an American Mercury car in the foreground. Pedestrians in quintessential early sixties attire, including women in swing coats and floral skirts, add a lively human element to the urban landscape. This digital download is an evocative record of London’s post-war street life, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage wall art.
