The former Great Central Hotel on Marylebone Road, London, in 1977, its vast red-brick frontage and clock tower still dominating the approach to Marylebone Station. Designed in the late 19th century as the grand railway hotel for the Great Central Railway, the building is seen here with red London buses streaking past in the foreground, adding a vivid contrast to the weighty Edwardian architecture behind. By this period the hotel was no longer operating in its original role, but the great façade, dormers, arcades and tower still made it one of the most striking landmarks on this stretch of Marylebone Road. The building later reopened as the Landmark London, giving this photograph added interest as a record of the site before its revival as one of the capital’s best-known hotels.
