London
Vintage colour photos of London from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting the capital’s streets, buildings, and everyday life across the post-war decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture London during a period of rebuilding, social change, and urban transformation following the Second World War.
This collection includes views of central London and surrounding districts, showing streetscapes, shops, offices, housing, transport, signage, and public spaces as they appeared in the second half of the 20th century. From historic landmarks to ordinary neighbourhood scenes, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of London before widespread redevelopment and modernisation reshaped much of the city.
All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
