Piccadilly Circus, London 1967

This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a majestic view of Piccadilly Circus in 1967, focusing on the classical architecture that defines the junction’s northern side. The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Eros stand prominently in the foreground, framed by the impressive Sun Alliance & London Insurance Group building with its distinctive green dome and ornate masonry. To the right, the neon-clad facade of the Monico building is partially visible, featuring advertisements for “Coca-Cola,” “Bulova Accutron,” and a theatre billing for the musical “Oliver!” at the Piccadilly Theatre. A red double-decker bus and several black taxis add movement to the scene, while the historic “County Fire Office” signage remains a visible link to the area’s Victorian past. Period details such as the “Barclays” bank sign and traditional globe street lamps enhance the mid-century atmosphere. This digital download is an exquisite record of London’s architectural heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
