This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Marble Arch at the junction of Oxford Street and Park Lane in 1966. A classic red London Routemaster bus on route 8 to Old Ford dominates the left side of the frame, adorned with period advertisements. The foreground is a snapshot of mid-century motoring, featuring a black Austin FX4 taxi (registration CYN 567C), a Ford Corsair (registration 7732 VU), and a cream-coloured Volkswagen Beetle (registration XLF 32). The iconic “marble arch corner” building stands prominently in the centre, housing a Fortes snack bar and situated next to the C&A department store. Directional road signs for the Ring Road and various southern destinations like Brighton and Maidstone guide the heavy traffic, while an Underground station sign is visible to the right. This digital download is a vibrant record of London’s 1960s urban landscape, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of nostalgic street photography wall art.
