This authentic 1960s colour photograph provides a high-angle perspective of Piccadilly Circus in 1968, looking down on the central hub of the West End. The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Eros occupy the foreground, with pedestrians scattered across the paved plaza and seated along the safety railings. Across the junction, the London Pavilion features a large yellow billboard for the film “The Graduate,” while the rest of the building displays its famous neon signs for “Max Factor,” “Gordon’s Gin,” and “Wrigley’s Spearmint.” To the left, a red double-decker bus and a large yellow commercial vehicle are visible amongst a stream of black Austin taxis and vintage cars, including a white Ford Transit van and a blue saloon. Retail fronts for “H. Samuel” and “Pronto Bar” line the street level, capturing the commercial vitality of the late sixties. This digital download is an exceptional historical record, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage London wall art.
