This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the architectural elegance of the Hyde Park Screen at Hyde Park Corner in 1968. Designed by the renowned architect Decimus Burton and completed in the late 1820s, the Grade I listed lonic screen serves as a monumental entrance to the park from the busy intersection. The image features a classic black Volkswagen Beetle and a two-tone Ford Zephyr navigating the road in the foreground, showcasing the everyday traffic of late-sixties London. In the background, horse riders can be seen gathered near the entrance, maintaining the long-standing equestrian tradition associated with the nearby Rotten Row. The bright daylight emphasizes the crisp fluting of the lonic columns and the intricate sculptural friezes that crown the central archway. This view reflects the area following the major road improvement schemes of the early 1960s, which had isolated the screen on a large traffic island. This digital download is a stunning record of London’s neoclassical heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of timeless vintage wall art.
