This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the evolving architectural landscape of Pall Mall in 1965. The image highlights the sharp contrast between the traditional stone facades of St James’s and the then-new modernist glass-and-steel headquarters of the Royal Exchange Assurance at No. 68. To the left, the classic storefront of Farlow’s, the renowned fishing tackle and firearms specialist, remains a fixture of the street’s heritage. On the road, a black Austin FX4 taxi (registration 528 GXN) leads a stream of period traffic, including a dark maroon Austin A40 Farina and a blue commercial lorry. Businessmen in dark, tailored suits walk past the pilotis of the office building, while the distant domes of the National Gallery are visible at the end of the thoroughfare. This digital download is a fascinating record of London’s mid-century urban transition, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of sophisticated 1960s wall art.
