This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the dazzling nocturnal energy of Piccadilly Circus during the Christmas season in 1964. The night-time scene is dominated by the brilliant glow of iconic neon advertisements, including the “Guinness Time” clock and the large “Smoke Player’s” cigarette sign. To the right, the London Pavilion and Monico buildings are covered in a riot of light, featuring signs for “Max Factor,” “Gordon’s Gin,” and “Wrigley’s” chewing gum. The silhouette of the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain (Eros) stands in the foreground, framed by the warm glow of traditional street lamps that line the plaza. Other prominent displays include “BP world-wide” and “Skol Lager,” while the storefront of Colibri lighters adds extra brightness at street level. This digital download is a stunning record of London’s mid-century festive atmosphere, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
