This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a candid slice of life on Regent Street in 1966. In the foreground, a council worker in blue overalls and a peaked cap is seen sweeping the pavement with a long-handled brush next to a metal refuse trolley. Standing nearby is a Metropolitan Police officer in a traditional black tunic and custodian helmet, observing the bustling crowd. The street is alive with mid-sixties fashion, including a woman in a cream coat with a blue headscarf and men in smart macs and tailored jackets. In the background, a black Austin FX4 taxi with registration GGX 562C sits in traffic alongside a classic red double-decker bus on the number 13 route to London Bridge. Scaffolding on the right indicates the ongoing maintenance of the grand Nash-designed buildings. This digital download is a vivid historical record of London’s daily rhythm during the swinging sixties, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
