This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a remarkably peaceful morning on Piccadilly in 1961, looking west with Piccadilly Circus behind the photographer. The right side of the frame is dominated by the grand, rusticated stonework of the Swan & Edgar department store, with its elegant dark awnings extended over the wide pavement. Further down the street, the marquee for the “Piccadilly Hotel” and the storefront for “Cordings Weatherproofs” are clearly visible. On the left, the edge of a classic red double-decker bus enters the frame, featuring an advertisement for Heinz Ketchup. A few pedestrians in period attire, including a man in a tan waistcoat and a woman in a blue coat, stroll along the clean flagstone pavement. This digital download offers a rare, uncluttered view of one of London’s most famous thoroughfares, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage architectural wall art.
