This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a rainy day at Piccadilly Circus in 1964, looking north-west into the curved sweep of Regent Street. On the left, the Swan & Edgar department store building is visible; this iconic location later became the home of Tower Records in the 1980s. In the foreground, three sailors in navy uniforms and white caps stand by a stone balustrade, while a man in a tan trench coat waits near a metal safety railing. The wet streets are filled with period vehicles, including a cream-coloured Vauxhall Victor, a black Austin FX4 taxi, and red double-decker buses in the distance. The architectural grandeur of the Quadrant is highlighted by the damp pavements and grey skies, typical of a London afternoon in the mid-sixties. This digital download is a superb historical record of the capital’s retail heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
