City of London

Vintage colour photos of the City of London from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting the historic financial heart of the capital during the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture streets, buildings, and everyday activity within the Square Mile as the area evolved through periods of reconstruction, redevelopment, and economic change.

This collection includes views of offices, banks, commercial streets, historic landmarks, transport, signage, and public spaces, reflecting the distinctive character of the City of London across several decades. From traditional architecture to later modern developments, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of the area before major late-20th- and early-21st-century transformation reshaped much of the City.

All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
