This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the historic atmosphere of Parliament Square in 1965, looking toward the architectural complex of the Palace of Westminster. The foreground is dominated by a classic red London double-decker bus (registration NXP 971) on route 12, displaying advertisements for the Battersea Funfair and “Mayfair from Benson & Hedges.” To the left, another bus on route 77 features a large yellow advertisement for “Booth’s Gin.” The backdrop showcases the Gothic silhouette of Westminster Hall and the Victoria Tower, framed by traditional black-and-white striped traffic light posts and a blue directional sign pointing toward Vauxhall, Waterloo, and Victoria. Pedestrians in mid-sixties attire wait at the central island, while scaffolding on the far left indicates ongoing urban maintenance. This digital download is a stunning record of London’s political heart, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage British wall art.
