A 1970s colour photo of the Victoria Memorial circus in front of Buckingham Palace during the latter half of the 20th century. The scene from 1972 captures a busy summer day with a variety of classic British vehicles navigating the red-surfaced road, including a blue Austin Mini with the registration LGJ 496D, several black Austin FX4 taxicabs, and a dark blue Austin 1800. In the foreground, tourists in early-seventies fashion—women in colourful knee-length skirts and men in short-sleeved shirts with sweaters draped over their shoulders—walk along the paved promenade toward the grand Neoclassical facade of the palace. The Victoria Memorial, topped with the gilded Winged Victory, stands prominently in the centre, surrounded by visitors climbing its white marble steps. This iconic royal setting, refaced in Portland stone in 1913, remains the primary focus for state pageantry and one of the most photographed landmarks in the capital.
