This authentic 1960s colour photograph provides a stunning high-angle perspective of Piccadilly Circus during the summer of 1968. The elevated view looks down upon the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and the figure of Eros, with crowds of people lounging on the expansive paved plaza below. The London Pavilion prominently displays a large yellow and red billboard for the film “The Graduate,” starring Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman. To the left, the rest of the building is festooned with classic mid-century advertisements, including “Max Factor,” “Gordon’s Gin,” and “Wrigley’s Spearmint” chewing gum. Traffic flows around the junction, featuring a mix of black Austin taxis, and a brown and white single-decker coach. The image perfectly captures the architectural density and vibrant commercial life of the West End at the close of the decade. This digital download is an exceptional historical document, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage London wall art.
