This authentic 1950s colour photograph captures a bustling daytime scene on Pall Mall East in 1957, the road that formerly ran directly along the north side of Trafalgar Square. The image showcases the grand Neoclassical architecture of the National Gallery and the distinctive spire of St Martin-in-the-Fields church. Several iconic red double-decker buses navigate the busy street alongside a variety of vintage black saloon cars and a white Morris Minor. Pedestrians in mid-century attire are seen walking along the pavements of this road, which has since been pedestrianised to create the square’s North Terrace. This archival print is a significant record of London’s changing urban landscape, making it an excellent resource for historical research, editorial use, or to print for yourself as a piece of nostalgic wall art.
