This authentic 1960s colour photograph offers a unique “passenger’s eye view” of the Royal Exchange in 1969, captured from the interior of a London taxi. The frame is defined by the taxi’s dashboard and the base of the windscreen, with the wiper blades visible against the grey road. Looking out across Bank Junction, the grand Corinthian columns and neoclassical pediment of the Royal Exchange dominate the centre of the image. In the foreground, the rear of another black Austin taxi with the registration SLF 692F sits in traffic. To the right, a classic red double-decker bus on the number 25 route to Victoria is visible, featuring an advertisement for “Pearl” insurance. A dark Commer van and various other period vehicles fill the busy city streets, while pedestrians can be seen near the statue of the Duke of Wellington. This digital download is an immersive record of a London commute during the late sixties, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
