This authentic 1960s colour photograph documents a period of significant architectural change at Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, in 1965. The image centers on the exposed interior walls of a partially demolished Georgian-style terrace, with large wooden beams shoring up the remaining structure. A temporary “CAR PARK” sign is visible on the grey hoardings that line the street, a common sight during the post-war redevelopment of this prestigious London square. Parked on the quiet road is a light blue Vauxhall Viva, reflecting the everyday motoring of the mid-sixties. An ornate, light-blue Victorian-style lamp post stands in the foreground, contrasting with the surrounding decay and modernization. During this decade, Grosvenor Square was famously becoming the heart of “Little America” following the 1960 completion of the Eero Saarinen-designed US Embassy nearby. This digital download is a compelling record of London’s evolving cityscape, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of documentary vintage wall art.
