This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the impressive storefront of the Midland Bank on the corner of Piccadilly and Regent Street St James in 1960. The image showcases the bank’s West End Overseas Branch, featuring a luxurious facade of book-matched reddish marble and heavy, square-patterned bronze doors. Above the entrance, the bank’s coat of arms is intricately displayed, while large blue neon-style lettering spells out “MIDLAND BANK” across the top. To the right, several period newspaper placards are propped against the building, advertising headlines from the Sunday Times, Empire News, and Sunday Graphic, including a story on “V-Bomber Sabotage Sensation.” Inside the large glass windows, modernist pendant lights hang in a row, illuminating displays that welcome visitors to “This is England.” This digital download is a magnificent record of London’s high-street banking heritage and mid-century design, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of sophisticated urban wall art.
