This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the formal grandeur of Parliament Square in 1968, featuring the bronze statue of Oliver Cromwell standing on its high stone pedestal. The view looks across the manicured sunken lawns and low stone walls of the square toward the impressive neoclassical and Gothic Revival buildings of Westminster. In the background, the bustling activity of central London is visible, with a variety of red and yellow double-decker buses. Period vehicles such as black taxis and classic saloons are interspersed with groups of pedestrians and tourists in quintessential late-sixties attire. The soot-darkened facades of the surrounding architecture, including the Government Offices Great George Street on the left, provide a dramatic contrast to the bright white stone of the square’s perimeter walls. This digital download is a remarkable record of Britain’s political centre, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of historic urban wall art.
