A 1960s colour photo looking north toward Trafalgar Square along Whitehall during the latter half of the 20th century. The street is a hive of activity, featuring a red Thorne & Howell “Television & Sound Engineers” repair van (registration SLP 805) and a green Morris J2 van navigating the traffic. On the far right, a tan Ford Prefect, while several red double-decker buses and black Austin taxis move toward the distant silhouette of Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery. In the centre foreground stands the equestrian statue of Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, unveiled in 1907, which serves as a majestic focal point for this historic thoroughfare. The scene perfectly captures the blend of grand Victorian architecture and the functional, colourful motor vehicles that defined the British capital at the start of the decade.
