EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Lexham Gardens in Kensington, London. The year is 1964, and photographer John Gay has perfectly captured the essence of this Victorian-era residential terrace. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn towards a stunning portico that adorns the foreground of Hotel Lexham, located at Nos. 32 to 38. The scene exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of this era. The terraced houses lining both sides of the street stand as proud witnesses to a bygone era's architectural grandeur. Each building boasts intricate detailing and ornate features that speak volumes about the craftsmanship prevalent during Victorian times. Lexham Gardens itself appears serene and inviting; its leafy trees providing shade along the picturesque avenue. One can only imagine residents strolling leisurely along these very streets or enjoying afternoon tea on their private balconies. John Gay's skillful composition allows us to travel through time, immersing ourselves in a moment frozen forever within this photograph. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history and how it continues to blend seamlessly with modernity even today. As we admire this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, let us appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us into another world - one where Victorian charm reigns supreme amidst bustling city life.
