This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the atmospheric transition to evening at Piccadilly Circus in 1963. The silhouetted Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, topped by the figure of Eros, stands in the foreground against a dimming sky. To the left, the London Pavilion is illuminated with a large cinematic billboard for the film “Tom Jones” starring Albert Finney. Nearby, neon signs for “Martell” cognac and “Gordon’s Gin” begin to glow brightly. Looking down Coventry Street, a prominent billboard for the comedy “Never Too Late” by Sumner Arthur Long is visible at the Prince of Wales Theatre, alongside a large “Grant’s Scotch Whisky” advertisement. Red double-decker buses and vintage cars navigate the junction, their headlights cutting through the dusk. This digital download is a moody and evocative record of London’s theatrical heart, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of mid-century urban wall art.
