Oxford Street, London, in 1970, looking west towards the Park Street and Portman Street junction, with a red Routemaster on route 73 to King’s Cross heading along the newly one-way street. In the foreground is a dark Ford Zephyr, while the right-hand side includes the corner of the much-derided Mount Royal Hotel, whose ground floor was occupied by Littlewoods. Just this side of the junction are signs for Ravel and the Jolyon cafeteria, one of J. Lyons’ later attempts to modernise its catering business, with a Richard Shops branch a little nearer. Farther along on the left are The Souk, The Golden Egg, Hepworths and an Alfred Marks Bureau sign, all set within a 1960s block that has since been completely redeveloped. With Marble Arch faintly visible in the distance and the pavements busy with shoppers, it is a wonderfully rich snapshot of Oxford Street just before many of these familiar names disappeared.
