Old colour photos of London’s West End from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of the capital’s busiest and most recognisable districts across the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture the West End as a centre of shopping, entertainment, nightlife, and everyday city life.
