South Kensington station in 1976, looking along the glazed arcade beneath its arched roof with a steady flow of pedestrians passing the small shops on either side. The scene is full of searchable period detail, including the large Masquerade Records frontage on the left, Alicia Rees Florist, the Anglo Persian Carpet Company sign on the right, the hanging “TICKETS & TRAINS” boards, and the glimpse farther ahead of the “3 MIN HEEL BAR” sign near the station entrance. The iron and glass roof, pendant lights, moulded shopfronts and busy mixture of suits, leather jackets and flared trousers give the whole view a strong mid-1970s London feel, capturing South Kensington not just as an Underground station but as a lively shopping arcade and pedestrian route between the platforms and the street outside.
