Metropolitan Police officers outside Stable Yard, St James’s, London, in 1979, standing in front of a temporary sign reading “STABLE YARD CLOSED FROM 10-9-79”. The scene is rich in official and architectural detail, with the traditional police box at the left edge, dark brick and stone institutional buildings behind, and the officers in classic late-1970s uniforms with custodian helmets. One officer appears to be checking notes or a radio while the others confer in the roadway, suggesting routine security or traffic control duties in this tightly managed royal and governmental quarter of central London. It is a strong candid record of everyday policing in St James’s at the end of the 1970s.
