The image exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us to an era between 1960 and 1972 when this snapshot was taken. The architectural marvel that is Victoria Station's roof looms above, casting intricate shadows across the scene below. Its grandeur serves as a reminder of the station's historical significance within London's railway network.
