City of Westminster

Vintage colour photos of the City of Westminster from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of London’s most historic and politically significant districts during the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture streets, buildings, and everyday activity across an area that includes government centres, royal landmarks, and major commercial streets.

This collection includes views of Westminster streetscapes, public buildings, shops, transport, signage, and public spaces, reflecting the character of the district across several decades of social and urban change. From ceremonial and administrative areas to ordinary street scenes, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of the City of Westminster before later redevelopment and modernisation altered many parts of the area.

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