This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the monumental facade of Selfridges department store on Oxford Street in 1969, featuring elaborate golden diamond decorations. These eye-catching ornaments were installed to celebrate the store’s “Diamond Jubilee,” marking 60 years since Harry Gordon Selfridge opened the doors in 1909. The image showcases the massive Ionic columns draped with international flags, while the street level is busy with quintessential late-sixties London life. Pedestrians in period summer attire, including sleeveless dresses and smart casual shirts, crowd the pavements under the bright afternoon sun. This digital download is a spectacular record of London’s retail history and mid-century celebratory design, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
