A 1960s colour photo looking down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square during the latter half of the 20th century. In the foreground, a black Morris PV “Black Maria” police van is parked near the statue of King Charles I, which stands on the spot once occupied by the original Charing Cross. To the left, the storefronts of “Bravingtons” jewellers and “Sinclair” watches are visible, while further down the street, several classic red RT buses and black cabs navigate the busy junction. The iconic Elizabeth Tower, housing Big Ben, rises in the distant hazy background, anchoring the view toward the heart of British government. On the right, an ornate Victorian lamp post stands outside the buildings of Charing Cross, and the neon sign for “Simple Spymen” at the Whitehall Theatre reflects the popular culture of 1960 London.
