This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the historic grandeur of the Palace of Westminster from Old Palace Yard in 1969. The image showcases the intricate Gothic Revival stonework of the building’s southern facade, which appears soot-stained and atmospheric before its later restoration. A series of white and red flags are displayed along the wrought-iron railings, adding a sense of pageantry to the scene. In the foreground, tourists in quintessential late-sixties summer attire—including short-sleeved shirts and mini-skirts—walk across the open plaza. A variety of period vehicles are parked in the square, including a silver Vauxhall Viscount (registration VHV 966G) and a classic red London double-decker bus passing in the background. This digital download is a magnificent record of London’s political heart at the close of the decade, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of historic architectural wall art.
