A 1960s colour photo looking west from the Shell Centre Tower in 1961, offering an elevated perspective of Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament. The sun reflects brilliantly off the surface of the River Thames, silhouetting the Gothic Revival architecture of the Palace of Westminster and the iconic clock tower, Big Ben. In the distance, the industrial character of the mid-20th-century capital is evident as plumes of white smoke rise from the chimneys of the Battersea and Fulham power stations. The bridge itself is busy with period traffic, including the familiar silhouettes of London buses and black cabs, while the South Bank foreground shows the beginnings of the area’s transition from a commercial wharf district into a modern cultural center.
