This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the electric energy of Piccadilly Circus in 1968, the commercial heart of London’s West End. The viewpoint highlights the legendary neon displays on the Monico building, including the massive “Cinzano The Bianco” sign and “Skol International Lager.” The “Guinness Time” clock and an “Air India” advertisement are also visible, while to the right, billboards for “Max Factor” and “Gordon’s Gin” dominate the London Pavilion. In the center, the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Eros stand as a focal point for the bustling city life. The street is active with a variety of period vehicles, including a red Triumph Herald, a white Austin A40 Farina, and classic black taxis. A lone man in a dark suit stands in the foreground, observing the movement of the circus under a clear sky. This digital download is an evocative piece of mid-century social history, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
