The image showcases the Penny Sit-Up for men, where the homeless could find shelter by sitting on a bench for just a penny a night.

The scene depicted in this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living on the margins of society in early 20th century London. The Salvation Army played a crucial role in providing support and assistance to those in need, offering refuge to those who had nowhere else to turn.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles and hardships endured by so many individuals during this period. It is a stark reminder of the importance of compassion, empathy, and community support in helping those facing adversity.
