This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the dazzling neon landscape of Piccadilly Circus in 1961. The focal point is the massive, circular Coca-Cola advertisement, accompanied by the ornate Guinness Time clock. Other prominent illuminated displays of the period include “Smoke Player’s” cigarettes, BP, and Skol lager. In the foreground, the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain (Eros) is visible behind a metal safety railing, with several people resting on its steps. A black Austin taxi and other period cars navigate the junction, while the soot-stained architecture of the surrounding buildings provides a gritty contrast to the bright commercial lights. Posters for West End shows like “The Gazebo” and “The Amorous Prawn” are visible at street level, adding to the cultural context of the early sixties. This digital download is a classic record of London’s most famous landmark, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
