A 1960s colour photo looking south-east from the high-rise Shell Centre Tower in 1961, capturing the intricate railway infrastructure and historic landmarks of the South Bank. The foreground is dominated by the sprawling platforms and brick viaducts of the station now known as Waterloo East, which at the time served as a vital link between the main Waterloo terminus and the City. Standing prominently amidst the urban landscape is St John’s Church on Waterloo Road; originally built in the Greek Revival style in 1824, it had recently been restored and rededicated as the “Festival of Britain Church” a decade prior following severe damage during the Blitz. The view also reveals the busy intersection of Tenison Way and the surrounding commercial buildings, reflecting the rapid post-war redevelopment of this industrial district into a modern cultural and administrative hub.
