This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the bustling street level entrance to Piccadilly Circus Station in 1969. The image features the classic ox-blood faïence architecture of the original Leslie Green station building, which has since been demolished and replaced. A prominent blue and white illuminated sign for the station hangs over the entrance, flanked by “Forte House” on the left and “Finlays the Tobacconists” on the right. Pedestrians in typical late-sixties attire, including men in slim-fit trousers and button-down shirts and women in colourful dresses, populate the pavement behind a metal safety railing. A small souvenir shop window is visible, displaying “Souvenirs of London” and Union Jack flags. This digital download is a vital historical record of London’s West End before major redevelopments, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of nostalgic urban wall art.
