A striking 1976 view of Bressenden Place in Victoria, dominated by the distinctive stepped façade of Elsom Pack & Roberts’ Portland House annex—part of the wider Stag Place redevelopment of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its modular, aluminium-framed design and ziggurat-like massing exemplify the era’s fascination with geometric modernism and mirrored-glass corporate architecture.
In the foreground, the low-rise block with rooftop plant machinery belongs to the early phases of the Cardinal Place complex, while the signage for Trafalgar Tours—then a major local employer—anchors the image firmly in the commercial Victoria of the 1970s, long before the area’s glossy regeneration. Traffic moves steadily along the broad roadway, framed by tower blocks and utilitarian streetlamps typical of the period.
