This 1973 night photograph shows the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand glowing with neon, its entrance canopy lit up beneath the vertical sign and bright marquee for A Private Matter. The cast board above the theatre names Alastair Sim, Derek Waring, Peter Cellier and Dorothy Reynolds, while the neighbouring E. Reed shopfront adds another piece of period commercial detail to this busy stretch of the West End. The street below is packed with evening traffic, including black cabs and saloons, their dark shapes catching the reflected pink and green theatre lights. More than just a theatre frontage, the image captures the Strand after dark in 1973, when neon, crowded roads and brightly lit playhouses still gave central London a distinctly old West End atmosphere.
